  • Patent number: 11392513
    Abstract: A graph-based data flow control system includes a control plane system coupled to SCP subsystems. The control plane system identifies a workload, and identifies service(s) on the SCP subsystems for manipulting/exchanging data to perform the workload. The control plane system generates a respective SCP-local data flow control graph for each SCP subsystem that defines how their service(s) will manipulate/exchange data within that SCP subsystem, and generates inter-SCP data flow control graph(s) that define how service(s) provided by at least one SCP subsystem will manipulate/exchange data with service(s) provided by at least one other SCP subsystem. The control plane system then transmits each respective SCP-local data flow control graph to each of the SCP subsystems, and the inter-SCP data flow control graph(s) to at least one SCP subsystem, for use by the SCP subsystems in causing their service(s) to manipulate/exchange data to perform the workload.
