US Patent 10938738 Resource allocation in distributed processing systems

A distributed processing system is disclosed herein. The distributed processing system includes a server, a database server, and an application server that are interconnected via a network, and connected via the network to a plurality of independent processing units. The independent processing units can include an analysis engine that is machine-learning-capable, and thus uniquely completes its processing tasks. The server can provide one or several pieces of data to one or several of the independent processing units, can receive analysis results from these one or several independent processing units, and can update the result based on a value characterizing the machine learning of the independent processing unit.
