Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If custom code is enabled for customers to run, then customer flexibility and customization are improved, but code implementation quality varies leading to high resource consumption and poor user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomer customizationVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of code execution paths before they are executed in production. By using vector embeddings to represent code methods and comparing them against learned models of efficient execution, the system identifies potentially inefficient code paths in advance, allowing for proactive optimization recommendations before resource consumption issues arise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors actual resource consumption metrics (CPU time, memory usage, etc.) during code execution and uses this feedback to refine the vector embedding models. This feedback loop enables the system to learn what constitutes efficient code execution patterns and provide increasingly accurate recommendations for optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of energy

If code execution paths are monitored and analyzed to identify inefficiencies, then resource consumption can be reduced, but system complexity increases due to the need for vector embedding models and continuous monitoring

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource consumptionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of directly analyzing complex code execution traces in their original form, the system creates simplified vector embeddings that capture the essential characteristics of code methods. These embeddings serve as compressed representations that can be efficiently compared and analyzed, reducing the complexity of the monitoring and analysis system while maintaining the ability to identify resource consumption patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms code execution data from its original complex form (detailed execution traces, multiple metrics) into a simplified parameter space using vector embeddings. This transformation reduces the dimensionality and complexity of the data while preserving the essential information needed to identify inefficient code paths, making the monitoring system more manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If vector embedding models are trained on code execution data, then identification accuracy of inefficient code paths is improved, but data processing requirements and computational overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoidcomputational overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs vector embedding transformations and model comparisons only for code execution paths that are actually executed during production operations, rather than analyzing all possible code paths or continuously training models. This selective approach maintains identification accuracy for active code paths while significantly reducing unnecessary computational overhead for unexecuted or rarely executed code.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Methods, systems, apparatuses, devices, and computer program products are described. A system may collect a first set of profiling data associated with computational resource consumption of one or more code implementations or methods. The system may use a vector embedding translation to convert the profiling data into one or more vector spaces. Each vector space may include a set of vectors, and each vector may correspond to an execution of a code implementation or method. The system may use the vector spaces to generate a model representation of the computational resource consumption of the one or more code implementations. In some cases, the system may collect and convert a second set of real-time profiling data into vector spaces, which the system may compare to the model representation such that users may identify deviations from resource consumption footprints.
