3Manufacturing precision

If workload data is not segmented and clustered, then the data processing is simpler, but the ability to determine accurate workload mixes for different information handling systems is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveworkload mix accuracyVSAvoiddata binning and clustering complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments workload data into distinct bins based on multiple characteristics such as workload type, industry, system size, and performance metrics. This segmentation allows the system to analyze and model different workload categories separately, leading to more accurate workload mix determinations for specific information handling systems while managing complexity through structured data organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different clustering approaches and analysis methods tailored to specific workload categories and industry segments. Rather than applying a uniform analysis method to all data, the system adapts its processing approach to local characteristics of different workload types, improving the precision of workload mix determination for each specific context.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A system for generating a workload model for a target information handling system includes gathering workload data from a plurality of information handling systems, dividing the workload data into a plurality of workload data bins, identifying workload data characteristics for each workload data bin and identifying workload data sets that may be applicable to the target information handling system. A workload mix may be determined based on the target information handling systems and workload data characteristics. Real customer workload data including real-time or near real-time workload data may be used to check a workload model for accuracy before deploying the workload model to a target information handling system.
