OPERATING SYSTEM BASED ON DUAL SYSTEM PARADIGM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17956594 titled 'OPERATING SYSTEM BASED ON DUAL SYSTEM PARADIGM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for managing the resource consumption of software programs on a computing device by monitoring physical resources and dynamically adjusting the mode of operation of the programs based on resource usage.
- Invoking execution of software programs in a first resource consuming mode
- Monitoring physical resources consumed by the software programs
- Determining whether to reduce or expand resource consumption based on monitored resources
- Switching software programs between different resource consuming modes in response to the determination
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in cloud computing environments to optimize resource allocation and improve overall system performance. It could also be used in IoT devices to manage resource usage efficiently.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of resource wastage and inefficient resource allocation in computing devices. By dynamically adjusting resource consumption based on real-time monitoring, it helps to optimize performance and reduce energy consumption.
Benefits
- Improved system performance - Efficient resource allocation - Reduced energy consumption
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimized resource management technology for cloud computing services
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be dynamic resource allocation techniques used in virtualized environments to optimize resource usage based on workload demands.
What are the potential security implications of dynamically adjusting resource consumption based on monitored resources?
Dynamically adjusting resource consumption based on monitored resources could potentially introduce security vulnerabilities if not implemented properly. For example, if the monitoring system is compromised, it could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information or resources.
How does this technology compare to traditional resource management techniques in terms of efficiency and performance?
This technology offers a more dynamic and adaptive approach to resource management compared to traditional static allocation methods. By adjusting resource consumption in real-time based on actual usage, it can potentially provide better efficiency and performance optimization.
Original Abstract Submitted
An example operation may include one or more of invoking, via an operating system, execution of a plurality of software programs having a first mode of operation that causes the plurality of software programs to operate in a first resource consuming mode, monitoring physical resources of a computing device that are consumed by the plurality of software programs, determining to reduce or allow expanded consumption of the physical resources of the computing device by the plurality of software programs based on the monitored physical resources, and in response to the determination, switching from a first mode of operation of a software program from among the plurality of software programs and to a second mode of operation of the software program that causes the software program to operate in a second resource consuming mode that consumes either less or more physical resources than the first resource consuming mode.
