Abstract: A fault management system (FMS) receives events indicating an issue with a component in the system and determines, based on an inventory database, the component associated with the events. The FMS creates, based at least in part on the events, an error report that includes: (i) an error type identifying a type of error described in the error report, (ii) a timestamp indicating when the error report was created, and (iii) a universal unique identifier (UUID) to uniquely identify the error report. The FMS determines, based at least in part on the error report, a policy associated with the events and classifies the events, based at least in part on the policy, as either a threshold event or a discrete event. The FMS performs one or more actions to address the events.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include implementing fabric availability and synchronization (FAS) agents within a fabric network. In one example, a first FAS agent executing on a first network device may receive, from a second network device, a command to modify a configuration of a second network device. The first FAS may upgrade the configuration of the first network device based on the command from a current configuration to a new configuration. The first FAS agent increment a state identifier associated with the configuration of the first network device to a new state identifier associated with the new configuration. The first FAS agent may then transmit a control packet that includes the new state identifier. A second FAS agent executing on the second network device may receive the control packet and execute the command to update the configuration of the second network device to the new configuration.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to link-based resource allocation for a pool of reconfigurable processors. Resource allocation is provided for reconfigurable processors based on link bandwidths and link latencies. Runtime logic receives target link bandwidth and target link latency and rated link bandwidth and rated link latency. In response, the runtime logic allocates configuration files for an application, reconfigurable processors, and links between the processors. The runtime logic executes the allocated configuration files using the allocated processors and the allocated links. In another embodiment, the pool of reconfigurable processors comprise a cluster of processing nodes connected through a network.

Abstract: A method for executing applications in a system comprising general hardware and reconfigurable hardware includes accessing a first execution file comprising metadata storing a first priority indicator associated with a first application, and a second execution file comprising metadata storing a second priority indicator associated with a second application. In an example, use of the reconfigurable hardware is interleaved between the first application and the second application, and the interleaving is scheduled to take into account (i) workload of the reconfigurable hardware and (ii) the first priority indicator and the second priority indicator associated with the first application and the second application, respectively. In an example, when the reconfigurable hardware is used by one of the first and second applications, the general hardware is used by another of the first and second applications.
