Patent number: 11755376Abstract: Task/resources are randomly assigned a number of times and a score for each solution of the random assignment is calculated. Using machine learning and artificial intelligence, a subset of the solutions is selected. Assignment of task/resource within the subset may be randomly changed, e.g., a task/resource assignment between two entities, a task/resource within the selected subset may be replaced with another task/resource (without swapping), etc. The additional solutions form a super solution with the selected subset and the score associated with the additional solutions are calculated. The process of selection of assignments, random changes to the assignment and calculating the scores associated with the new solutions is repeated a number of times until a certain condition is met, e.g., a number of iterations, time out, improvement between two iterations is less than a certain threshold, etc. Once the certain condition is satisfied, a solution is selected.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2019Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: CALLIDUS SOFTWARE, INC.Inventors: Nick Pendar, Eric Christopher Hagen

Patent number: 9792155Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for managing clusters of parallel processors for use by groups and individuals requiring supercomputer level computational power. A Beowulf cluster provides supercomputer level processing power. Unlike a traditional Beowulf cluster; however, cluster size in not singular or static. As jobs are received from users/customers, a Resource Management System (RMS) dynamically configures and reconfigures the available nodes in the system into clusters of the appropriate sizes to process the jobs. Depending on the overall size of the system, many users may have simultaneous access to supercomputer level computational processing. Users are preferably billed based on the time for completion with faster times demanding higher fees.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2015Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: CALLIDUS SOFTWARE INC.Inventors: Charles Prael, Adrian Tymes
