RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240256571 titled 'RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS

The abstract describes a resource management system where a resource manager is coupled to multiple virtual data warehouse instances, each comprising computing resources. The resource manager receives queries directed to database data, determines associated tasks, distributes tasks to virtual data warehouse instances, and reconfigures instances as needed.

• Resource manager coupled to virtual data warehouse instances
• Receives queries directed to database data
• Distributes tasks to virtual data warehouse instances
• Reconfigures instances based on data access needs
• Improves efficiency and resource utilization

Potential Applications: - Data processing and analysis - Cloud computing optimization - Database management

Problems Solved: - Efficient resource allocation - Improved data processing speed - Enhanced scalability

Benefits: - Increased efficiency - Optimal resource utilization - Faster data processing

Commercial Applications: - Cloud service providers - Data analytics companies - Enterprise database management

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the resource manager determine which virtual data warehouse instance to distribute tasks to? 2. What are the potential challenges in reconfiguring virtual data warehouse instances in real-time?

Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing studies on resource management in cloud computing - Research on optimizing data warehouse performance in large-scale systems

Original Abstract Submitted

example resource management systems and methods are described. in one implementation, a resource manager is to be coupled to one or more virtual data warehouse instances that each comprise a plurality of computing resources. a resource manager receives a query directed to database data. the resource manager determines a task associated with the query. the resource manager distributes the task to a first virtual data warehouse instance of the plurality of virtual data warehouse instances. the resource manager determines that the first virtual data warehouse instance of the plurality of virtual data warehouse instances no longer accesses the database data. the resource manager reconfigures the first virtual data warehouse instance to delete a communication between the first virtual data warehouse instance and the database.
