Abstract: Software and other electronic services are increasingly being executed in cloud computing environments. Edge computing environments may be used to bridge the gap between cloud computing environments and end-user software and electronic devices, and may implement Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS). FaaS may be used to create flavors of particular services, a chain of related functions that implements all or a portion of a FaaS edge workflow or workload. A FaaS Temporal Software-Defined Wide-Area Network (SD-WAN) may be used to receive a computing request and decompose the computing request into several FaaS flavors, enable dynamic creation of SD-WANs for each FaaS flavor, execute the FaaS flavors in their respective SD-WAN, return a result, and destroy the SD-WANs. The FaaS Temporal SD-WAN expands upon current edge systems by allowing low-latency creation of SD-WAN virtual networks bound to a set of function instances that are created to a execute a particular service request.

Abstract: Reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS)-based memory domains can enable applications to store data in memory domains having different degrees of reliability to reduce downtime and data corruption due to memory errors. In one example, memory resources are classified into different RAS-based memory domains based on their expected likelihood of encountering errors. The mapping of memory resources into RAS-based memory domains can be dynamically managed and updated when information indicative of reliability (such as the occurrence of errors or other information) suggests that a memory resource is becoming less reliable. The RAS-based memory domains can be exposed to applications to enable applications to allocate memory in high reliability memory for critical data.

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: Methods and apparatus for opportunistic memory pools. The memory architecture is extended with logic that divides and tracks the memory fragmentation in each of a plurality of smart devices in two virtual memory partitions: (1) the allocated-unused partition containing memory that is earmarked for (allocated to), but remained un-utilized by the actual workloads running, or, by the device itself (bit-streams, applications, etc.); and (2) the unallocated partition that collects unused memory ranges and pushes them in to an Opportunistic Memory Pool (OMP) which is exposed to the platform's memory controller and operating system. The two partitions of the OMP allow temporary utilization of otherwise unused memory. Under alternate configurations, the total amount of memory resources is presented as a monolithic resource or two monolithic memory resources (unallocated and allocated but unused) available for utilization by the devices and applications running in the platform.

For example, a request to verify integrity of a device is received at a networking infrastructure device. A representation of device components of the device may be obtained. The representation of the device components may be compared with a reference value held by the networking infrastructure device. A response to the request may be transmitted based on matching the representation of the device components and the reference value. Here, the response indicates that the integrity of the device is intact.

Abstract: System and techniques for an environmental control loop are described herein. A device for an environmental control loop can include a memory including instructions and processing circuitry that when in operation, can be configured by the instructions to receive environmental sensor data from a first component in a set of heterogeneous components installed in an environment with a controller. The environmental sensor data can indicate a service level value sensed by the first component. The controller can also measure a violation of a service level objective based on comparing the environmental sensor data to a threshold. The controller can also transmit an adjustment to an operating parameter of a second component of the set of heterogeneous components. The adjustment can be operative to attenuate the violation of the service level objective when implemented by the second component.
