Methods for adjusting an operation of a task system or executing a transaction in response to a forecast of a forward market value
Abstract
Methods for adjusting an operation of a task system or executing a transaction in response to a forecast of a forward market value are disclosed. An example method may include interpreting a resource utilization requirement for a task system having at least one of a compute task, a network task, or a core task; interpreting a behavioral data source; operating a machine to forecast a forward market value for a resource in response to the resource utilization requirement and the behavioral data source; and performing one of adjusting an operation of the task system or executing a transaction, in response to the forecast of the forward market value for the resource.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A method, comprising:
interpreting a resource utilization requirement for a task system having at least one of a compute task, a network task, or a core task; interpreting a behavioral data source; operating a machine to forecast a forward market value for a resource in response to the resource utilization requirement and the behavioral data source; and performing one of adjusting an operation of the task system or executing a transaction, in response to the forecast of the forward market value for the resource.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the forward market value for the resource comprises a forward market for energy prices.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the behavioral data source comprises at least one of an automated agent behavioral data source, a human behavioral data source, and a business entity behavioral data source.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the forward market value for the resource comprises a forward market for a spectrum resource.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the behavioral data source comprises at least one of an automated agent behavioral data source, a human behavioral data source, and a business entity behavioral data source.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the forward market value for the resource comprises a forward market for a compute resource.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the behavioral data source comprises at least one of an automated agent behavioral data source, a human behavioral data source, and a business entity behavioral data source.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the forward market value for the resource comprises a forward market for an energy credit resource.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the behavioral data source comprises an automated agent behavioral data source.
10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the behavioral data source comprises a human behavioral data source.
11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the behavioral data source comprises a business entity behavioral data source.
12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource utilization requirement comprises a first resource, and wherein the resource of the forward market value comprises at least one of:
the first resource; and a second resource that can be substituted for the first resource.
13 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising operating the machine to determine a substitution cost of the second resource, and performing the one of adjusting the operation of the task system or executing the transaction further in response to the substitution cost of the second resource.
14 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising determining at least a portion of the substitution cost of the second resource as an operational change cost for the task system.
15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the performing comprises executing the transaction, wherein the transaction comprises one of purchasing or selling one of the first resource or the second resource on a market for at least one of the first resource or the second resource.
16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource utilization requirement comprises at least one resource selected from the resources consisting of: a compute resource, a network bandwidth resource, a spectrum resource, a data storage resource, an energy resource, and an energy credit resource.
17 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing comprises adjusting the operation of the task system, and wherein the adjusting further comprises at least one operation selected from the operations consisting of: adjusting operations of the task system to increase or reduce the resource utilization requirement; adjusting operations of the task system to time shift at least a portion of the resource utilization requirement; adjusting operations of the task system to substitute utilization of a first resource for utilization of a second resource; and accessing an external provider to provide at least a portion of at least one of the compute task, the network task, or the core task.
18 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing comprises executing the transaction, wherein the transaction comprises one of purchasing or selling the resource on a market for the resource.
19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the market for the resource comprises a forward market for the resource.
20 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the market for the resource comprises a spot market for the resource.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
