METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR ALLOCATING WORKLOAD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134694 titled 'METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR ALLOCATING WORKLOAD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method, electronic device, and computer program product for allocating a workload based on the state of devices and workload thresholds.

  • Acquiring a state graph of devices running a workload at a specific time point
  • Updating the state graph based on node activity compared to a threshold
  • Determining the load state of devices at that time point
  • Allocating a workload to devices based on the load state

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in cloud computing environments, data centers, and distributed systems to optimize workload allocation and resource management.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient workload allocation based on device states and thresholds 2. Improved resource utilization and performance in distributed systems

Benefits

1. Enhanced workload distribution for better performance 2. Automated workload allocation based on real-time device states 3. Optimal resource management leading to cost savings

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing workload allocation in cloud computing services Enhancing resource utilization in data centers Improving performance in distributed computing systems

Possible Prior Art

Prior art in workload allocation and resource management systems in cloud computing and distributed systems may exist, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does the method handle dynamic changes in workload and device states over time?

The abstract does not specify how the method adapts to changing conditions and if it can dynamically adjust workload allocation.

What types of devices are considered in the workload allocation process?

The abstract mentions "plurality of devices," but it does not detail the specific types of devices or their capabilities that are included in the workload allocation process.


Original Abstract Submitted

embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for allocating a workload. the method includes acquiring a first state graph of a plurality of devices that run a first workload at a first time point. the method further includes updating the first state graph based on a comparison between an active value of at least one node in the first state graph and a predetermined threshold. the method further includes determining a first load state of the plurality of devices at the first time point based on an updated first state graph. the method further includes allocating a second workload to the plurality of devices at a second time point based on the first load state, where active values of nodes in the updated first state graph are greater than the predetermined threshold.
