System Control Processor Manager for Dynamic Resource Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing computing systems face inefficiencies in allocating and managing resources for computer-implemented services, leading to suboptimal performance due to over- or under-allocation of resources, which can result in poor service quality and inefficient use of hardware resources.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a system control processor manager that instantiates and manages composed information handling systems by aggregating resources from multiple information handling systems, using a three-resource set model (compute, control, and hardware resources) to dynamically allocate and reallocate resources based on workload demands, ensuring optimal resource utilization and service quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If resources are statically allocated to computing devices, then resource allocation is simple, but service quality deteriorates due to over- or under-allocation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where the system control processor manager continuously monitors workload demands and adjusts resource allocations in real-time. Resources are dynamically assigned to composed information handling systems based on actual service requirements, transitioning from static to dynamic allocation to resolve the contradiction between allocation simplicity and service quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the system control processor manager receives status information from managed information handling systems and adjusts resource allocations accordingly. This closed-loop feedback enables the system to respond to changing workload conditions, ensuring optimal resource utilization while maintaining high service quality.
2Reliability
If resources are dynamically allocated based on workload, then service quality improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the resource management function by introducing a dedicated system control processor manager that operates independently from managed information handling systems. This segmentation centralizes complexity in a specialized component while keeping individual system operations simple, allowing dynamic resource allocation without overwhelming any single system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system control processor manager acts as an intermediary between resource providers and composed information handling systems. This intermediary component handles the complexity of resource allocation decisions, communication protocols, and coordination, shielding individual systems from management complexity while enabling dynamic resource distribution.
3Productivity
If resources are aggregated from multiple systems, then resource utilization efficiency improves, but management difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system control processor manager provides universal management capabilities that work across multiple types of information handling systems. By implementing standardized interfaces and protocols, the manager can aggregate and manage diverse resources from different systems uniformly, improving utilization efficiency while avoiding the complexity of custom management solutions for each system type.
