  • Low burden system for allocating computational resources in a real time control environment
    Patent number: 8291428
    Abstract: A low processing overhead resource manager for a control system uses the control system operating state as a proxy for processing resource capacity, making judgments about execution of asynchronous services based on empirically derived data linked to the states. The control system exists in one of a plurality of predefined operating states logically related to the real-time control of the equipment. A resource model provides predefined processing reserves as a function of operating state, which is based on the control variables representing inputs outputs to and from the equipment. A simple assessment of the operating state determines the process reserves for asynchronous non real-time services.
