METHODS AND APPARATUS TO MANAGE WORKLOADS FOR AN OPERATING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18396350 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS TO MANAGE WORKLOADS FOR AN OPERATING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for managing workloads in an operating system by comparing performance metrics of tasks executed with different processor core configurations and selecting the optimal configuration based on the comparison.
- The system causes programmable circuitry to execute a task with a first processor core configuration, then with a second configuration, and compares performance metrics of each execution.
- Based on the comparison, the system selects either the first or second processor core configuration to be used for future task executions.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Cloud computing environments
- High-performance computing systems
Problems Solved
This technology addresses issues such as:
- Optimizing performance of tasks in a multi-core processor system
- Efficiently managing workloads in an operating system
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved performance of tasks
- Enhanced efficiency in workload management
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Processor Core Configurations for Improved Task Performance"
Possible Prior Art
No prior art is known at this time.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact energy consumption in a system?
This article does not address the potential impact on energy efficiency.
Can this system adapt to changing workload demands in real-time?
The article does not specify if the system can dynamically adjust processor core configurations based on changing workload requirements.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to manage workloads for an operating system wherein it causes programmable circuitry to cause a task of a workload to be executed with a first processor core configuration; cause the task to be executed with a second processor core configuration; compare a first performance metric of the execution of the task with the first processor core configuration to a second performance metric of the execution with the second processor core configuration; and cause to be used one of the first processor core configuration or the second processor core configuration based on the comparison.
