4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the resource comprises an energy credit resource, and wherein the forward resource market comprises a forward market for energy credits.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the resource comprises an energy resource, and wherein the forward resource market comprises a forward market for energy.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the resource comprises a data storage resource, and wherein the forward resource market comprises a forward market for data storage capacity.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the resource comprises an energy storage resource, and wherein the forward resource market comprises a forward market for energy storage capacity.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the resource comprises a network bandwidth resource, and wherein the forward resource market comprises a forward market for network bandwidth.
9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the transaction of the resource on the forward resource market comprises one of buying or selling the resource.
10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the resource distribution circuit is further structured to adaptively improve one of an output value of the machine or a cost of operation of the machine using executed transactions on the forward resource market.
11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the resource distribution circuit further comprises a component selected from a list of components consisting of a machine learning component, an artificial intelligence component, and a neural network component.
12 . A method, comprising:
determining an amount of a resource for a machine to service at least one of a compute task requirement, a networking task requirement, and an energy consumption task requirement of the machine;
accessing a forward resource market; and
executing a transaction of the resource on the forward resource market in response to the determined amount of the resource.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the resource comprises a compute resource, and wherein the forward resource market comprises a forward market for compute resources.
14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the resource comprises a spectrum allocation resource, and wherein the forward resource market comprises a forward market for spectrum allocation.
15 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the resource comprises an energy credit resource, and wherein the forward resource market comprises a forward market for energy credits.
16 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the resource comprises an energy resource, and wherein the forward resource market comprises a forward market for energy.
17 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the resource comprises a data storage resource, and wherein the forward resource market comprises a forward market for data storage capacity.
18 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the resource comprises an energy storage resource, and wherein the forward resource market comprises a forward market for energy storage capacity.
19 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the resource comprises a network bandwidth resource, and wherein the forward resource market comprises a forward market for network bandwidth.
20 . The method of claim 12 , wherein executing the transaction of the resource on the forward resource market comprises one of buying or selling the resource.
21 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising adaptively improving one of an output value of the machine or a cost of operation of the machine using executed transactions on the forward resource market.
22 . A transaction-enabling system, comprising:
a machine having at least one of a compute task requirement, a networking task requirement, and an energy consumption task requirement; and
a controller, comprising:
a resource requirement circuit structured to determine a first amount of a first resource and a second amount of a second resource for the machine to service at least one of the compute task requirement, the networking task requirement, and the energy consumption task requirement;
a resource market circuit structured to access a resource market;
a forward resource market circuit structured to access a forward resource market; and
a resource distribution circuit structured to execute a first transaction of the first resource on one of the resource market or the forward resource market, and to execute a second transaction of the second resource on the other of the one of the resource market or the forward resource market.
23 . The system of claim 22 , wherein the second resource comprises a substitute resource for the first resource during at least a portion of an operating condition of the machine.
24 . The system of claim 22 , wherein the forward resource market comprises a futures market for the resource at a first time scale, and wherein the resource market comprises one of: a spot market for the resource, or a futures market for the resource at a second time scale.
25 . The system of claim 23 , wherein the first transaction or the second transaction comprises at least one transaction type selected from the transaction types consisting of: a sale of the resource; a purchase of the resource; a short sale of the resource; a call option for the resource; a put option for the resource; and any of the foregoing with regard to at least one of the substitute resource or a correlated resource.
