Abstract

Claims (38)

1. A system for hierarchical cooperative computing, comprising:

a vector definition service platform comprising a memory, a processor, and a plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory thereof and operable on the processor thereof, wherein the programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the processor to:

receive a user-submitted request comprising at least a cooperative computing request; and

compile the request into a vector using at least a model definition language;

a rules engine comprising a memory, a processor, and a plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory thereof and operable on the processor thereof, wherein the programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the processor to:

retrieve the vector from the vector definition service platform; and

evaluate the vector for appropriateness based at least on predefined rules, data associated with the user-submitted request, and processing localities;

a parametric evaluator comprising a memory, a processor, and a plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory thereof and operable on the processor thereof, wherein the programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the processor to:

parameterize the vector based at least on an intended purpose of the user-submitted request and predefined constraints included in the user-submitted request; and

generate at least a run from the parameterized vector; and

an optimizer comprising a memory, a processor, and a plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory thereof and operable on the processor thereof, wherein the programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the processor to:

retrieve the run from the parametric evaluator; and

determine an optimal plan for executing the user-submitted request based at least on the run, wherein the optimal plan includes executing the user-submitted request in an optimal processing locality of the processing localities, and wherein the optimal processing locality is determined based at least on the status of connections from the system to the optimal processing locality and availability of computational resources of the optimal processing locality.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a data migration service platform comprising a memory, a processor, and a plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory thereof and operable on the processor thereof, wherein the programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the processor to:

initiate migration of the data associated with the user-submitted request from one processing locality to a different processing locality for processing.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a resource modulation service platform comprising a memory, a processor, and a plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory thereof and operable on the processor thereof, wherein the programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the processor to:

automatically acquire additional resources for the optimal processing locality to execute the user-submitted request from a service provider external to the optimal processing locality.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the optimizer uses a simulation service external to the optimizer to operate an instanced copy of a compute environment to identify bottlenecks in the system.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the rules engine is further configured to conduct a feasibility analysis on the vector.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the rules engine denies the vector and submits a request to the vector definition service platform for additional information.

7. A method for hierarchical cooperative computing, comprising the steps of:

receiving a user-submitted request comprising at least a cooperative computing request using a vector definition service;

compiling the request into a vector using at least a model definition language using the vector definition service;

retrieving the vector from the vector definition service using a rules engine;

evaluating the vector for appropriateness based at least on predefined rules, data associated with the user-submitted request, and processing localities using the rules engine;

parameterizing the vector based at least on an intended purpose of the user-submitted request and predefined constraints included in the user-submitted request using a parametric evaluator;

generating at least a run from the parameterized vector using the parametric evaluator;

retrieving the run from the parametric evaluator using an optimizer; and

determining an optimal plan for executing the user-submitted request based at least on the run, wherein the optimal plan includes executing the user-submitted request in an optimal processing locality of the processing localities, and wherein the optimal processing locality is determined based at least on the status of connections from a system to the optimal processing locality and availability of computational resources of the optimal processing locality using the optimizer.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

initiating migration of the data associated with the user-submitted request from one processing locality to a different processing locality for processing using a data migration service.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

automatically acquiring additional resources for the optimal processing locality to execute the user-submitted request from a service provider external to the optimal processing locality using a resource modulation service.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the optimizer uses a simulation service external to the optimizer to operate an instanced copy of a compute environment to identify bottlenecks in the system.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the rules engine is further configured to conduct a feasibility analysis on the vector.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the rules engine denies the vector and submits a request to the vector definition service platform for additional information.
