  • Patent number: 11500754
    Abstract: A graph-based data multi-operation system includes a data multi-operation management subsystem coupled to an application and accelerator subsystems. The data multi-operation management subsystem receives a data multi-operation graph from the application that identifies first data and defines operations for performance on the first data to transform the first data into second data. The data multi-operation management subsystem assigns each of the operations to at least one of the accelerator systems, and configures the accelerator subsystems to perform the operations in a sequence that transforms the first data into the second data, When the data multi-operation management subsystem determine a completion status for the performance of the operations by the accelerator subsystems, it transmits a completion status communication to the application that indicates the completion status of the performance of the plurality of operations by the plurality of accelerator subsystems.

  • Publication number: 20220327066
    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 manipulating/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.

  • Patent number: 11442763
    Abstract: A virtual machine deployment system includes a plurality of processing subsystems, and at least one multi-endpoint adapter device including a plurality of endpoint subsystems. A plurality of communication couplings couple each of the plurality of endpoint subsystems to at least one of the plurality of processing subsystems in order to provide a respective subset of available communication resources to each of the plurality of processing subsystems. A virtual machine deployment engine receives an instruction to deploy a virtual machine, and determines at least one communication resource requirement for the virtual machine. The virtual machine deployment engine then identifies a first processing subsystem that is included in the plurality of processing subsystems and that is provided a first subset of the available communication resources that satisfies the at least one communication resource requirement for the virtual machine, and deploys the virtual machine on the first processing subsystem.
