Scheduling Method, Apparatus, and System, and Computing Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18515471 titled 'Scheduling Method, Apparatus, and System, and Computing Device

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a scheduling method for a computing device with multiple processors that support different types of instruction sets. The method involves identifying the instruction set type of an application, selecting a processor that supports that type, and assigning the application to that processor for execution.

  • The scheduling method is designed for computing devices with multiple processors.
  • Each processor supports a different type of instruction set.
  • The method matches the instruction set type of an application with a compatible processor.
  • By allocating applications to processors with compatible instruction sets, efficiency and performance can be optimized.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • High-performance computing clusters
  • Cloud computing environments
  • Mobile devices with heterogeneous processors

Problems Solved

This technology addresses issues such as:

  • Efficient utilization of diverse processor capabilities
  • Optimizing performance based on application requirements
  • Simplifying scheduling and allocation processes in multi-processor systems

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved performance and efficiency in multi-processor systems
  • Dynamic allocation of applications based on instruction set compatibility
  • Enhanced flexibility in managing workloads across different processors

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Application Scheduling for Heterogeneous Processors in Cloud Computing


Original Abstract Submitted

A scheduling method performed by a computing device that includes a plurality of processors, a type of at least one instruction set of instruction sets supported by at least one of the plurality of processors is different from a type of an instruction set of instruction sets supported by another processor, where the scheduling method includes obtaining a type of an instruction set of an application, selecting a target processor from the plurality of processors, where the type of the instruction set of the application is a subset of types of a plurality of instruction sets of instruction sets supported by the target processor, and allocating the application to the target processor for execution.
