Abstract: Various approaches for deploying and using virtual pools of compute resources with the use of infrastructure processing units (IPUs) and similar networked processing units are disclosed. A host computing system may be configured to operate a virtual pool of resources, with operations including: identifying, at the host computing system, availability of a resource at the host computing system; transmitting, to a network infrastructure device, a notification that the resource at the host computing system is available for use in a virtual resource pool in the edge computing network; receiving a request for the resource in the virtual resource pool that is provided on behalf of a client computing system, based on the request being coordinated via the network infrastructure device and includes at least one quality of service (QoS) requirement; and servicing the request for the resource, based on the at least one QoS requirement.

Abstract: Various approaches for monitoring and responding to orchestration or service failures with the use of infrastructure processing units (IPUs) and similar networked processing units are disclosed. A method performed by a computing device for deploying remedial actions in failure scenarios of an orchestrated edge computing environment may include: identifying an orchestration configuration of a controller entity (responsible for orchestration) and a worker entity (subject to the orchestration to provide at least one service); determining a failure scenario of the orchestration of the worker entity, such as at a networked processing unit implemented at a network interface located between the controller entity and the worker entity; and causing a remedial action to resolve the failure scenario and modify the orchestration configuration, such as replacing functionality of the controller entity or the worker entity with functionality at a replacement entity.

Abstract: Various approaches for service mech switching, including the use of infrastructure processing units (IPUs) and similar networked processing units, are disclosed. For example, a packet that includes a service request for a service may be received at a networking infrastructure device. The service may include an application that spans multiple nodes in a network. An outbound interface of the networking infrastructure device may be selected through which to route the packet. The selection of the outbound interface may be based on a service component of the service request in the packet and network metrics that correspond to the service. The packet may then be transmitted using the outbound interface.

Abstract: Various approaches for configuring interleaving in a memory pool used in an edge computing arrangement, including with the use of infrastructure processing units (IPUs) and similar networked processing units, are disclosed. An example system may discover and map disaggregated memory resources at respective compute locations connected to each another via at least one interconnect. The system may identify workload requirements for use of the compute locations by respective workloads, for workloads provided by client devices to the compute locations. The system may determine an interleaving arrangement for a memory pool that fulfills the workload requirements, to use the interleaving arrangement to distribute data for the respective workloads among the disaggregated memory resources. The system may configure the memory pool for use by the client devices of the network, as the memory pool causes the disaggregated memory resources to host data based on the interleaving arrangement.

Abstract: A VTOL aircraft includes a plurality of lift propellers configured to rotated by lift motors to provide vertical thrust during takeoff, landing and hovering operations. The lift propellers are configured to generate a cooling airflow to cool the lift motors during use. During a cruise operation when the VTOL aircraft is in forward motion, the lift propellers may be stowed in a stationary position. Therefore, the cooling airflow may be reduced or eliminated when it is not needed.

The method includes performing a water vapor correction on the aerosol corrected radiance image to generate a BOA radiance image. At last, the method includes converting the BOA radiance image to a BOA reflectance.

Abstract: A network processing device identifies a first request to access a line of memory in a remote memory resource and determines, based on the address of the line of memory, that the line of memory is associated with a sparse region in a memory pool. The address is provided as an input to a probabilistic data structure, where the probabilistic data structure is to generate a result to identify whether the line of memory includes a common data pattern. The network processing device returns the common data pattern as a response to the first request if the result of the probabilistic data structure indicates that the first line of memory includes the common data pattern.

Abstract: In a server system, a host computing platform can have a processing unit separate from the host processor to detect and respond to failure of the host processor. The host computing platform includes a memory to store data for the host processor. The processing unit has an interface to the host processor and the memory and an interface to a network external to the host processor and has access to the memory. In response to detection of failure of the host processor, the processing unit migrates data from the memory to another memory or storage.

Abstract: A network processing device connects to one or more devices in a computing node and connects to one or more other network processing devices of other computing nodes. The network processing device identifies a policy for allowing devices in other computing nodes to access a particular resource of one of the devices in its computing node. The network processing device receives an access request to access the particular resource from another network processing device and sends a request to the device hosting the particular resource based on the access request and the policy.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally directed to intelligent management of microservices failover. In an example, responsive to an uncorrectable hardware error associated with a processing resource of a platform on which a task of a service is being performed by a primary microservice, a failover trigger is received by a failover service. A secondary microservice is identified by the failover service that is operating in lockstep mode with the primary microservice. The secondary microservice is caused by the failover service to takeover performance of the task in non-lockstep mode based on failover metadata persisted by the primary microservice. The primary microservice is caused by the failover service to be taken offline.

The high insulation zone is above the low insulation zone and includes food items that are not suitable for contact with the energy packs.

Abstract: Scalable I/O Virtualization (Scalable IOV) allows efficient and scalable sharing of Input/Output (I/O) devices across a large number of containers or Virtual Machines. Scalable IOV defines the granularity of sharing of a device as an Assignable Device Interface (ADI). In response to a request for a virtual device composition, an ADI is selected based on affinity to the same NUMA node as the running virtual machine, utilization metrics for the Input-Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU) unit and utilization metrics of a device of a same device class. Selecting the ADI based on locality and utilization metrics reduces latency and increases throughput for a virtual machine running critical or real-time workloads.
