Systems and methods for improving computational speed of planning by caching optimization in hypercubes

Abstract:

A system for caching includes an interface to receive a portion of a hypercube to evaluate. The hypercube includes cells with a set of the cells having a formula. The system includes a processor to determine term(s) in the formula for each cell of the set of cells; remove from consideration a time dimension and/or a primary dimension for the term(s) in the formula for each cell of the set of cells; determine a set of distinct terms using the term(s); determine whether a total number of terms in the set of cells is larger than a number of distinct terms in the set of distinct terms; and in response to determining that the total number of terms in the set of cells is larger than the number of distinct terms in the set of distinct terms, indicate to cache the set of distinct terms during evaluation.
