Resource allocation system and method
View Patent ↗A telecommunication system includes telecommunication resources, points, and a connection manager. The connection manager is configured to establish connections between the telecommunications resources and the points in response to a request from an application. The connection manager uses routing tables to select the most efficient route from the available routes between a telecommunications resource and a point. The routing tables establish the connection by sending a request to allocate a telecommunications resource to a session manager.
1. A method for dynamically allotting a resource to an application, the method comprising:
triggering an event signal in response to an event occurring;
receiving the event signal at a management module configured to manage a plurality of resources;
requesting a resource from a system module in response to the received event signal;
allocating the resource to the application in response to the request for the resource;
executing the application;
determining whether execution of the application is complete;
de-allocating the resource from the application in response to execution of the application being complete, the resource re-allocable to a subsequent request for the resource.
2. The method for dynamically allotting at least one resource to the application of claim 1 , wherein receiving the event signal further comprises:
detecting the event signal to determine available resources from the plurality of resources; and
notifying an application tracker to include the application in a list of currently executing applications, the application associated with the event signal.
3. The method for dynamically allotting at least one resource to the application of claim 1 , wherein requesting the resource further comprises:
providing requirements for the resource to the services kernel in response to the application beginning execution;
determining an availability of the resource;
assigning the resource to the application in response to the resource being available; and
indicating non-availability for the resource to the application in response to the resource not being available.
4. The method for dynamically allotting at least one resource to the application of claim 1 , wherein de-allocating the resource further comprises:
receiving notification of completion of execution of an application;
shutting down the application in response to the notification; and
returning the allocated telecommunication resources to control of the management module.
5. A computer readable medium structured to store instructions executable by a processor, the instructions when executed cause the processor to:
trigger an event signal in response to an event occurring;
receive the event signal at a management module configured to manage a plurality of resources;
request a resource from a system module in response to the received event signal;
allocate the resource to the application in response to the request for the resource;
execute the application;
determine whether execution of the application is complete;
de-allocate the resource from the application in response to execution of the application being complete, the resource re-allocable to a subsequent request for the resource.
6. The computer readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the instruction causing the processor to receive the event signal further comprises instructions to
cause the processor to:
detect the event signal to determine available resources from the plurality of resources; and
notify an application tracker to include the application in a list of currently executing applications, the application associated with the event signal.
7. The computer readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the instruction causing the processor to request the resource further comprises instructions to cause the processor to:
provide requirements for the resource to the services kernel in response to the application beginning execution;
determine an availability of the resource;
assign the resource to the application in response to the resource being available; and
indicate non-availability for the resource to the application in response to the resource not being available.
8. The computer readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the instruction causing the processor to de-allocate the resource further comprises instructions to cause the processor to:
receive notification of completion of execution of an application;
shut down the application in response to the notification; and
return the allocated telecommunication resources to control of the management module.
