Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media are provided for deploying intent-driving cloud branches. An example method can include obtaining, by one or more controllers in a software-defined network (SDN), a branch network design template for deploying a remote branch in the SDN, wherein the branch network design template defines networking settings for a plurality of services to be provisioned at the remote branch; obtaining, by the one or more controllers, a plurality of software packages for the plurality of services to be provisioned at the remote branch; and based on the branch network design template and the plurality of software packages, provisioning, by the one or more controllers, the plurality of services at the remote branch and a network connectivity of the plurality of services.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor includes a plurality of processing engines (PEs) to execute threads, and a guide unit. The guide unit is to: monitor execution characteristics of the plurality of PEs and the threads; generate a plurality of PE rankings, each PE ranking including the plurality of PEs in a particular order; and store the plurality of PE rankings in a memory to be provided to a scheduler, the scheduler to schedule the threads on the plurality of PEs using the plurality of PE rankings. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
