Systems and methods for improving computational speed of planning by tracking dependencies in hypercubes

Abstract:

A system for updating a hypercube includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive an indication to update a cell of the hypercube. The processor is configured to determine a primary dimension value associated with the cell; determine a group of dependencies based at least in part on the primary dimension value, wherein a dependency of the group of dependencies comprises one or more primary dimension values and a pattern; for the dependency of the group of dependencies, determine a set of source locations based at least in part on the one or more primary dimension values and the pattern; and mark the set of source locations as invalid.
