DISTRIBUTED, DECENTRALIZED TRAFFIC CONTROL FOR WORKER PROCESSES IN LIMITED-COORDINATION ENVIRONMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17725797 Titled 'DISTRIBUTED, DECENTRALIZED TRAFFIC CONTROL FOR WORKER PROCESSES IN LIMITED-COORDINATION ENVIRONMENTS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a solution for managing traffic control in a decentralized system where multiple worker processes (WPs) need to access a shared resource. Each WP receives historical warnings about the resource and uses this information to determine if accessing the resource would exceed a certain limit. If it would exceed the limit, the WP does not access the resource. If it would not exceed the limit, the WP accesses the resource to perform a specific task.
Original Abstract Submitted
Solutions for distributed, decentralized traffic control for worker processes (WPs) in limited-coordination environments include: by each WP of a plurality of WPs: receiving, by the WP, indications of historical warnings corresponding to a target resource; based on at least the indications of historical warnings, autonomously determining, by the WP, whether the WP accessing the target resource would exceed a dynamic threshold of WPs permitted to access the target resource; based on at least determining that the WP accessing the target resource would exceed the dynamic threshold, not accessing the target resource by the WP; and based on at least determining that the WP accessing the target resource would not exceed the dynamic threshold, accessing the target resource, by the WP, to perform a first data management task.
