  • Patent number: 11853810
    Abstract: Edge device task management is provided. It is determined whether a subtask cancel and migrate plan exists when a request to run a higher priority subtask of a second plurality of subtasks corresponding to a second task is received while a first task comprised of a first plurality of subtasks is running on a first cluster of edge devices. In response to determining that the subtask cancel and migrate plan does exist, a lower priority subtask of the first plurality of subtasks is canceled from a designated edge device of the first cluster of edge devices based on the subtask cancel and migrate plan. The lower priority subtask is migrated to another edge device for running based on the subtask cancel and migrate plan.

  • Publication number: 20230409462
    Abstract: A method for system profiling and controlling and a computer system performing the same are provided. In the method, an operating system is operated after the computer system is booted, in which a profiling-controlling system is operated. When the operating system loads and executes a system profiling-controlling program, the profiling-controlling system that simultaneously operates a profiling routine and a controlling routine is initiated. The profiling routine is used to retrieve system kernel data that is generated during operation of the operating system and analyze the system kernel data through a kernel tracing tool. When it is determined that controlling is required, the profiling routine notifies the controlling routine. The controlling routine controls operating parameters of the operating system in real time according to an analysis result generated by the profiling routine.
