Workload Compliance Governor for Disaggregated Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional workload compliance systems in information handling systems are time-consuming and complicated due to separate compliance conformance assessments for each component in disaggregated systems, requiring different operating environments for each assessment.
Innovation Solution
A workload compliance governor system that receives a workload performance request, exchanges hardware compose communications to identify and configure hardware components, determines compliance, and configures them based on software requirements to ensure the components can perform the workload, eliminating the need for separate assessments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate compliance conformance assessments are performed for each component in disaggregated systems, then compliance validation is achieved, but the assessment process becomes time-consuming and complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate compliance assessments for different components (hardware, firmware, software, security) into a single unified compliance assessment process. The system evaluates all components simultaneously against their respective compliance requirements, consolidating what would traditionally be multiple separate assessment procedures into one integrated evaluation, thereby reducing total assessment time while maintaining comprehensive compliance validation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a universal compliance assessment mechanism that can evaluate multiple different component types (hardware, firmware, software, security components) using a single assessment framework. This multi-functional assessment system handles diverse compliance requirements across all system components through one unified process, eliminating the need for separate specialized assessments for each component category.
2Reliability
If separate compliance conformance assessments are performed for each component, then compliance requirements are verified, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate compliance verification processes into a single integrated assessment system. Instead of maintaining separate assessment procedures for hardware, firmware, software, and security components, the system combines all these assessments into one unified process, reducing system complexity while still verifying all compliance requirements across all component types.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the compliance assessment into distinct evaluation categories (hardware compliance, firmware compliance, software compliance, security compliance) that are processed simultaneously within a unified framework. This segmentation allows each component type to be evaluated according to its specific requirements while maintaining an integrated assessment process, managing complexity through structured organization rather than separate independent processes.
3Measurement precision
If different operating environments are required for each compliance assessment, then accurate compliance evaluation is achieved, but the assessment process becomes more complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal assessment environment that can accommodate and evaluate all different component types (hardware, firmware, software, security) within a single multi-functional framework. This unified environment maintains the specific evaluation requirements for each component type while eliminating the need for separate physical or operational environments, thereby preserving measurement precision without increasing process complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary compliance assessment system that mediates between different component types and their respective compliance requirements. This intermediary layer translates and coordinates the evaluation of hardware, firmware, software, and security components through a unified process, maintaining accurate compliance evaluation for each component while simplifying the overall assessment process by managing environmental requirements centrally.

AI summary
A workload compliance governor system includes a management system coupled to a computing system. A workload compliance governor subsystem in the computing system receives a workload performance request associated with a workload, exchanges hardware compose communications with the management system to compose hardware components for the workload, and receives back an identification of hardware components. The workload compliance governor subsystem then determines that the identified hardware components satisfy hardware compliance requirements for the workload, and configures the identified hardware components in the computing system based on the software compliance requirements for the workload in order to cause those identified hardware components to provide an operating system and at least one application that operate to perform the workload.
