  • Apparatus and method for computational workflow management
    Patent number: 10261911
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for performing computational workflow management are provided. An example apparatus may include processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may be configured to receive a computation resource reservation request for cache from a client to perform a computation, and decompose the computation into a workflow of tasks, generate a task label for each task result and the associated task, and compare a selected task label with previous task labels to determine if the selected task label matches one of the previous task labels. The processing circuitry may be further configured to, in response to determining that the selected task label matches one of the previous task labels, perform the computation using a task result that is associated with the matched one of the previous task labels that is currently stored in the cache for the task result of the selected task label.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 6, 2017
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2019
    Assignee: The Johns Hopkins University
    Inventors: Brian E. Ahr, Jonathan Z. Gehman, Khadir A. Griffith, Gary L. Jackson, II, William J. La Cholter, Anthony J. Castellani
