Abstract
Methods and apparatus for optimizing resource allocation among data analysis functions in a classification system are provided. Each of the data analysis functions is characterized as a set of operating points in accordance with at least one of resource requirements and analysis quality. An operating point for each of the data analysis functions is selected in accordance with one or more constraints. The analysis functions are applied at selected operating points to optimize resource allocation among the data analysis functions in the classification system.
Claims20
A method for optimizing resource allocation among data analysis functions in a classification system comprising the steps of:
- characterizing each of the data analysis functions as a set of operating points in accordance with at least one of resource requirements and analysis quality;
- selecting an operating point for each of the data analysis functions in accordance with one or more constraints;
- and
- applying the analysis functions at selected operating points to optimize resource allocation among the data analysis functions in the classification system.
Apparatus for optimizing resource allocation among data analysis functions in a classification system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and operative to:
- (i) characterize each of the data analysis functions as a set of operating points in accordance with at least one of resource requirements and analysis quality;
- (ii) select an operating point for each of the data analysis functions in accordance with one or more constraints;
- and (iii) apply the analysis functions at selected operating points to optimize resource allocation among the data analysis functions in the classification system.
