Abstract: Technologies for managing accelerator resources include a cloud resource manager to receive accelerator usage information from each of a plurality of node compute devices and task parameters of a task to be performed. The cloud resource manager accesses a task distribution policy. The cloud resource manager determines a destination node compute device of the plurality of node compute devices based on the task parameters and the task distribution policy. The cloud resource manager assigns the task to the destination node compute device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Technologies for managing accelerator resources include a cloud resource manager (102) to receive accelerator usage information from each of a plurality of node compute devices (104) and task parameters of a task to be performed. The cloud resource manager (102) accesses a task distribution policy, determines a destination node compute device (104) of the plurality of node compute devices (104) based on the task parameters and the task distribution policy, and assigns the task to the destination node compute device (104).

Abstract: The object of the invention is a sliding ring used in mechanical non-contact face seals. A sliding ring according to the invention is provided with grooves (1) on its faying face (5) which extend to the outer or to the inner peripheral surface, so that the faying face (s) has a recessed surface (Fv) and a non-recessed surface (F), whose relation Fv/F is included in the range from 0.25 to 0.50 and the grooves (1) situated on the recessed surface (Fv) are of the shape of a bell of an inclination angle (?) from 5° to 15° and an inclination angle (?) from 5° to 45°, while the relation of the base width (B) of the groove (1) to the top width (A) of the groove (1) is from 2 to 6, wherein all the grooves (1) are connected at their base (B) by a thin, ring-shaped groove (m) whose width against the height (Io) of the groove (1) falls into the range between 0.08 and 0.25.
