  • Publication number: 20190354402
    Abstract: Embodiments for optimizing dynamic resource allocations in a disaggregated computing environment. A new workload is assigned to a subset of a plurality of processors, the subset of processors assigned a subset of a plurality of cache devices. A determination is made that the new workload is categorized as a cache-friendly workload having a memory need which can be met primarily by the subset of cache devices by identifying that underlying data necessitated by the new workload resides primarily within the subset of cache devices. Pursuant to determining the new workload is the cache-friendly workload, a cache related action is performed to increase performance of the new workload executed by the subset of processors and commensurately executes additional workloads performed by other ones of the plurality of processors within the disaggregated computing environment.

  • Publication number: 20190354413
    Abstract: Embodiments for optimizing memory placement in a disaggregated computing environment. A new workload is assigned to a subset of a plurality of processors, the subset of processors assigned a subset of a plurality of memory devices. In some embodiments, a determination is made as to whether the new workload is categorized as a memory-dependent workload having a memory need which can be met primarily by the subset of the memory devices. If the new workload is categorized as a memory-dependent workload, a determination is then made as to whether the subset of the memory devices is meeting the memory need of the new workload. When the subset of the memory devices is not meeting the memory need of the new workload, a memory related action is taken.

  • Publication number: 20190356729
    Abstract: Embodiments for optimizing dynamic resource allocations for storage-dependent workloads in a disaggregated computing environment. A new workload is assigned to a subset of a plurality of processors, the subset of processors assigned a subset of a plurality of memory devices associated with a plurality of storage devices. A determination is made that the new workload is categorized as a storage-dependent workload having a storage need which can be met primarily by a subset of the storage devices after having identified whether data requests associated with the new workload can be satisfied by the subset of memory devices. Pursuant to determining the new workload is the storage-dependent workload, a storage related action is proactively performed to increase efficiency of the new workload prior to commencement of a performance of the new workload.

  • Publication number: 20190356732
    Abstract: Embodiments for optimizing dynamic resource allocations in a disaggregated computing environment. A new workload is assigned to a subset of a plurality of processors, the subset of processors assigned a subset of a plurality of cache devices. A determination is made that the new workload is categorized as a cache-dependent workload which would be executed more efficiently were additional data elements associated with the new workload to be held in the subset of cache devices, and pursuant to determining the new workload is the cache-dependent workload, a determination is made as to whether the subset of cache devices is meeting the memory need of the new workload. Responsive to determining the subset of cache devices is not meeting the memory need of the new workload, a cache related action is performed.

  • Publication number: 20190310897
    Abstract: For measuring component utilization in a computing system, a server energy utilization reading of a statistical significant number of servers out of a total number of servers located in the datacenter is obtained by measuring, at predetermined intervals, a collective energy consumed by all processing components within each server. The collective energy is measured by virtually probing thereby monitoring an energy consumption of individual ones of all the processing components to each collect an individual energy utilization reading, where the individual energy utilization reading is aggregated over a predetermined time period to collect an energy consumption pattern associated with the server utilization reading.

  • Patent number: 10409509
    Abstract: A memory management service occupies a configurable portion of an overall memory system in a disaggregate compute environment. The service provides optimized data organization capabilities over the pool of real memory accessible to the system. The service enables various types of data stores to be implemented in hardware, including at a data structure level. Storage capacity conservation is enabled through the creation and management of high-performance, re-usable data structure implementations across the memory pool, and then using analytics (e.g., multi-tenant similarity and duplicate detection) to determine when data organizations should be used. The service also may re-align memory to different data structures that may be more efficient given data usage and distribution patterns. The service also advantageously manages automated backups efficiently.

  • Patent number: 10401940
    Abstract: For power management in a disaggregated computing system, a set of initial electrical power levels are allocated to a set of processor cores according to a predicted desired workload, where the set of initial power levels aggregate to an initial collective contracted power level. Electrical power is dynamically allocated to respective processor cores within the set of processor cores to produce a capacity to execute a collective demanded workload while maintaining the electrical power to the set of processor cores to an approximately constant electrical power level within a threshold of the initial collective contracted electrical power level.

  • Patent number: 10129169
    Abstract: Server resources in a data center are disaggregated into shared server resource pools. Servers are constructed dynamically, on-demand and based on workload requirements and a tenant's resiliency requirements (e.g., as specified in an SLA), by allocating from these resource pools. A disaggregated compute system of this type keeps track of resources that are available in the shared server resource pools, and it manages those resources based on that information and the health of the resources. As a workload is processed by the server entity and component resources fail, the server entity composition is changed, e.g. by allocating other resources to the server entity, or by transitioning to other server entities, to ensure that a resiliency requirement is maintained.
