Abstract: Embodiments of systems, apparatuses and methods provide enhanced function as a service (FaaS) to users, e.g., computer developers and cloud service providers (CSPs). A computing system configured to provide such enhanced FaaS service include one or more controls architectural subsystems, software and orchestration subsystems, network and storage subsystems, and security subsystems. The computing system executes functions in response to events triggered by the users in an execution environment provided by the architectural subsystems, which represent an abstraction of execution management and shield the users from the burden of managing the execution. The software and orchestration subsystems allocate computing resources for the function execution by intelligently spinning up and down containers for function code with decreased instantiation latency and increased execution scalability while maintaining secured execution.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for on-package accelerator complex (AC) for integrating accelerator and IOs for scalable RAN and edge cloud solutions. The AC comprises one or more dies including an IO interface tile that is coupled to multiple intellectual property (IP) blocks that may be integrated on the same die as the IO interface tile or separate dies that are coupled to the IO interface tile via die-to-die or chiplet-to-chiplet interconnects. The IP blocks may include a network interface (e.g., Ethernet) and one or more accelerators. The package further includes a central processing unit (CPU) that is coupled to the AC via a die-to-die or chiplet-to-chiplet interconnect. The IO interface tile includes integrated shared scratchpad memory that is shared among the IP blocks and the CPU cores. The IO interface tile further includes an interface controller for scheduling IP blocks and configuring data transfers between the IP blocks, such as used by a RAN pipeline.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe a system main memory comprising two levels of memory that include cached subsets of system disk level storage. This main memory includes “near memory” comprising memory made of volatile memory, and “far memory” comprising volatile or nonvolatile memory storage that is larger and slower than the near memory. The far memory is presented as “main memory” to the host OS while the near memory is a cache for the far memory that is transparent to the OS, thus appearing to the OS the same as prior art main memory solutions. The management of the two-level memory may be done by a combination of logic and modules executed via the host CPU. Near memory may be coupled to the host system CPU via high bandwidth, low latency means for efficient processing. Far memory may be coupled to the CPU via low bandwidth, high latency means.

Abstract: A solution is presented to securing endpoints without the need for a separate bus or communication path. The solution allows for controlling access to endpoints by utilizing a management protocol by overlapping with existing interconnect communication paths in a packet format and utilizing a PCI address BDF (Bus number, Device number, and Function number) for verification.
