  • Patent number: 12072823
    Abstract: Composable computing architectures with an interconnection fabric to provide high availability and fault tolerance are described. An interconnection fabric routes packets between compute resources, memory resources, and input/output (I/O) resources. A fabric manager is coupled with the interconnection fabric to receive an I/O or memory requirement for a compute workload for a host device, and to map individual I/O or memory resources from the plurality of I/O resources to individual compute resources from the plurality of compute resource and to dynamically map individual I/O resources from the plurality of I/O resources based on received resource requests.

  • Publication number: 20230421451
    Abstract: An apparatus in a first computing device is provided. During operation, the apparatus can present, to a processor of the first computing device, a virtual interface switch (VIS) coupled to an interface port of the processor. The apparatus can present to the processor that a target device, which is reachable via a remote apparatus of a second computing device, is coupled to the VIS. The apparatuses can be coupled via at least a first fabric and a second fabric. A respective fabric may facilitate communication based on a fabric switching protocol. The apparatus can obtain a set of packets, which can be issued from the interface port via the VIS and directed to the target device. The apparatus can then forward, to the remote apparatus, a first subset of the set of packets via the first fabric and a second subset of the set of packets via the second fabric.

  • Patent number: 10362375
    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a system is provided. The system includes a first subsystem and a second subsystem, connectable to each other via a passive cable, and each connected to a high-level management tool. Each subsystem includes a signal driver/receiver capable of sending and receiving data and signals over the passive cable and a connection discovery engine to access low-level power up/down controls of the signal driver/receiver. The connection discovery engine is to, via physical layer communication, send a local unique identifier (ID) of the particular signal driver/receiver over the passive cable. The connection discovery engine is further to, via physical layer communication, receive, over the passive cable, a remote unique ID of the signal driver/receiver in the other connected subsystem. The connection discovery engine is further to send the local unique ID and the remote unique ID to the high-level management tool.
