Abstract
Computer implemented method and system for multi-server computing of demand forecast information for a demand forecast tree to shorten run time.
Claims8
Computer implemented method for computing demand forecast information for a demand forecast application capable of being graphically represented by a demand forecast tree having a single top level node with at least two branches directly emanating therefrom each having at least one node with a time series of observations associated therewith, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a database for storing time series of observations;
- (b) providing at least two computer servers each independently capable of computing demand forecast information for an entire branch of the demand forecast tree;
- and
- (c) simultaneously computing demand forecast information for at least two branches of the demand forecast tree on two different computer servers of the at least two computer servers.
Computer implemented system for computing demand forecast information for a demand forecast application capable of being graphically represented by a demand forecast tree having a single top level node with at least two branches directly emanating therefrom each having at least one node with a time series of observations associated therewith, the system comprising:
- (a) a database server for storing time series of observations;
- and
- (b) a forecast engine including two or more computer servers each independently capable of computing demand forecast information for an entire branch of the demand forecast tree for simultaneously computing demand forecast information for at least two branches of the demand forecast tree on two different computer servers of the at least two computer servers.
