Solution Overview

Problem

Existing computing systems face inefficiencies in providing computer implemented services due to inadequate resource allocation and management, leading to suboptimal performance and quality of services.

Innovation Solution

The system employs a three-resource set model to dynamically allocate and manage compute, control, and hardware resources, using a system control processor manager to instantiate and recompose information handling systems based on client requests, ensuring optimal resource utilization and service quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If computing devices include hardware components and software components to provide services, then service functionality is enabled, but resource allocation efficiency deteriorates leading to suboptimal performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice performanceVSAvoidresource management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a system control processor manager as an intermediary component that sits between the hardware resources and the services. This manager dynamically allocates and manages compute, control, and hardware resources, resolving the contradiction by providing intelligent resource orchestration that improves service performance while abstracting away the management complexity from individual computing devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where the system control processor manager can reassign resources in real-time based on service demands. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt resource distribution to changing conditions, improving productivity while the automated management reduces the effective complexity burden on operators.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If services are limited by hardware and software components, then resource requirements are constrained, but service quality deteriorates due to inadequate resource allocation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice qualityVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal resource management system that can handle multiple types of resources (compute resources, control resources, hardware resources) through a single system control processor manager. This universal approach ensures reliable service quality across diverse resource types while improving overall resource utilization efficiency by optimizing allocations across the entire system rather than individually.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If computing devices manage resources statically, then system simplicity is maintained, but service adaptability deteriorates leading to suboptimal resource utilization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice adaptabilityVSAvoidresource management system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a self-service resource management system where the system control processor manager autonomously monitors service demands and reallocates resources without external intervention. This self-service capability provides high service adaptability to changing conditions while the automation reduces operational complexity, as the system manages itself without requiring complex external control mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
