OPTIMIZING PROCESSOR WORKLOADS AND SYSTEM EFFICIENCY THROUGH GAME-THEORETIC MODELS IN DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
Abstract
The primary goal of this research is to examine how different strategic behaviors adopted by processors affect the workload management and overall efficiency of the system. Specifically, the study focuses on the attainment of a pure strategy Nash Equilibrium and explores its implications on system performance. In this context, Nash Equilibrium is considered as a state where no player has anything to gain by changing only their own strategy unilaterally, suggesting a stable, yet not necessarily optimal, configuration under strategic interactions. The paper rigorously develops a formal mathematical model and employs extensive simulations to validate the theoretical findings, thus ensuring the reliability of the proposed model. Additionally, adaptive algorithms for dynamic task allocation are proposed, aimed at enhancing system flexibility and efficiency in real-time processing environments. Key results from this study highlight that while Nash Equilibrium fosters stability within the system, the adoption of optimal cooperative strategies significantly improves operational efficiency and minimizes transaction costs. These findings are illustrated through detailed 3D plots and tabulated results, which provide a detailed examination of how strategic decisions influence system performance under varying conditions, such as fluctuating system loads and migration costs. The analysis also examines the balance between individual processor job satisfaction and overall system performance, highlighting the effect of rigid task reallocation frameworks. Through this study, the paper not only improves our understanding of strategic interactions within computational systems but also provides key ideas that could guide the development of more efficient computational frameworks for various applications.
