Abstract: A system for sharing peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) devices across multiple host servers is disclosed. In some embodiments, a switch includes a plurality of hosts associated with a plurality of hierarchies, one or more endpoints associated with one or more of the plurality of hierarchies, and a switch communicatively connectable to the plurality of hosts and the one or more endpoints. The switch is configured to: receive a transaction layer packet (TLP); determine a policy group identifier based on parsing and processing the TLP; perform packet forward matching based on the policy group identifier and destination fields of the TLP; based on whether the TLP is communicated between the hosts and endpoints in different hierarchies of the plurality of hierarchies, determine whether to edit the TLP using one or more rewrite rules; and forward the TLP to an appropriate destination link.

Abstract: A system and method for achieving peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) redundancy and recovery are disclosed. In some embodiments, the system comprises an accelerated compute fabric (ACF) comprising a PCIe switch, an application host communicatively coupled to the ACF using one or more upstream PCIe links, and an endpoint device communicatively coupled to the ACF using one or more downstream PCIe links. The application host is configured to send PCIe transaction layer packets (TLP) addressed to the ghosted endpoint devices through the one or more upstream PCIe links, and the ACF is configured to redirect the PCIe TLP packets to the endpoint device through the one or more downstream PCIe links.
