Abstract: A clustered memory system includes a first computing system coupled to a second computing system via a network, and including a clustered memory management subsystem coupled to a central processing subsystem and a networking device. The clustered memory management subsystem receives a processor memory-centric access request associated with a memory access operation from the central processing subsystem, and uses memory management hardware to determine that the processor memory-centric access request is directed to a second memory subsystem in the second computing system. The clustered memory management subsystem then uses remote memory access hardware to generate memory access information for performing the memory access operation at the second memory subsystem, and instructs the networking device to utilize the memory access information to transmit at least one memory access communication that provides for the performance of the memory access operation at the second memory subsystem.

The workload compliance governor subsystem then determines that the identified hardware components satisfy hardware compliance requirements for the workload, and configures the identified hardware components in the computing system based on the software compliance requirements for the workload in order to cause those identified hardware components to provide an operating system and at least one application that operate to perform the workload.

Abstract: A live migration/high availability system includes a first computing system having a first SCP subsystem coupled to first computing system components and a first hypervisor subsystem that provides a first virtual machine.

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 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.

Abstract: A distributed key management system includes a first SCP subsystem coupled to second SCP subsystems via a network. The first SCP subsystem establishes secure communication channels with the second SCP subsystems, and a first key management subsystem in the first SCP subsystem retrieves enabling key(s) for communicating via the secure communication channels from a second key management subsystem in one of the second SCP subsystems, and stores the enabling key(s).

If the first SCP subsystem is trusted, the first key management subsystem provides the first SCP subsystem access to the at least one enabling key. If the first SCP subsystem is not trusted, the first key management subsystem prevents the first SCP subsystem from accessing the at least one enabling key stored.
