  • Patent number: 10977085
    Abstract: Embodiments for optimizing dynamic resource allocations in a disaggregated computing environment. Data access patterns of data elements associated with a set of workloads are tracked across predetermined windows of time. The set of workloads is categorized into at least one of a plurality of classes, each class characterized by a method of data access of the data elements during the tracking of the data access patterns. Resource allocations are optimized in the disaggregated computing environment for a current iteration of the set of workloads based on the method of data access by allocating specific resources within the disaggregated data center to the current iteration of the set of workloads according to the data access patterns in real-time.

  • Patent number: 10970061
    Abstract: Embodiments for performing rolling software upgrades in a disaggregated computing environment. A rolling upgrade manager is provided for upgrading one or more disaggregated servers. A designated memory area is used for storing an updated software component, and a disaggregated server is switched to the designated memory area from a currently assigned memory area when performing the software upgrade. A process state and program data is maintained in the currently assigned memory area while maintaining the updated software component in the designated memory area such that the process state and program data are read from the currently assigned memory area and the updated software component is read from the designated memory area during currently executing operations of the disaggregated server.

  • Patent number: 10936374
    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.

  • Patent number: 10915370
    Abstract: Direct inter-processor communication is enabled with respect to data in a memory location without having to switch specific circuits through a switching element (e.g., an optical switch). Rather, in this approach a memory pool is augmented to include a dedicated portion that serves as a disaggregated memory common space for communicating processors. The approach obviates the requirement of switching of physical memory modules through the optical switch to enable the processor-to-processor communication. Rather, processors (communicating with another) have an overlapping ability to access the same memory module in the pool; thus, there is no longer a need to change physical optical switch circuits to facilitate the inter-processor communication. The disaggregated memory common space is shared among the processors, which can access the common space for reads and writes, although particular locations in the memory common space for reads and writes are different.

  • Patent number: 10915373
    Abstract: MapReduce processing is carried out in a disaggregated compute environment comprising a set of resource pools that comprise a processor pool, and a memory pool. Upon receipt of a MapReduce job, a task scheduler allocates resources from the set of resource pools, the resources including one or more processors drawn from the processor pool, and one or more memory modules drawn from the memory pool. The task scheduler then schedules a set of tasks required by the MapReduce job. At least one particular task in the set is scheduled irrespective of a location of data required for the particular task. In association with a shuffle phase of the MapReduce job, and in connection with the particular task, at least one connection between a processor and at least one memory module is dynamically rewired based on the location of the data required for the particular task, thereby obviating network transfer of that data.

  • Patent number: 10901918
    Abstract: Server resources in a data center are disaggregated into shared server resource pools, which include a pool of secure processors. Advantageously, servers are constructed dynamically, on-demand and based on a tenant's workload requirements, by allocating from these resource pools. According to this disclosure, secure processor modules for new servers are allocated to provide security for data-in-use (and data-at-rest) in a dynamic fashion so that virtual and non-virtual capacity can be adjusted in the disaggregate compute system without any downtime, e.g., based on workload security requirements and data sensitivity characteristics. The approach herein optimizes an overall utilization of an available secure processors resource pool in the disaggregated environment. The resulting disaggregate compute system that is configured according to the approach cryptographically-protects workload data whenever it is outside the CPU chip.

  • Patent number: 10891206
    Abstract: Embodiments for disaster recovery in a disaggregated computing system. A memory pool is allocated including allocated memory elements at a secondary, disaster recovery site for data received from memory pool elements within the memory pool at a primary site. Data is continuously replicated to the allocated memory elements at the disaster recovery site without requiring any compute resources to be attached to the allocated memory elements during the replicating. An orchestration mechanism is used to regulate an available amount of resources to be assigned to the allocated memory elements at the disaster recovery site during a failover operation for performing failover workloads associated with the replicated data upon the primary site becoming inoperable.

  • Patent number: 10884821
    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.
