Abstract: Hardware-agnostic accelerator orchestration (HALO) provides a software framework for heterogeneous computing systems. Hardware-agnostic programming with high performance portability is envisioned to be a bedrock for realizing adoption of emerging accelerator technologies in heterogeneous computing systems, such as high-performance computing (HPC) systems, data center computing systems, and edge computing systems. The adoption of emerging accelerators is key to achieving greater scale and performance in heterogeneous computing systems. Accordingly, embodiments described herein provide a flexible hardware-agnostic environment that allows application developers to develop high-performance applications without knowledge of the underlying hardware.

Abstract: A stand-alone accelerator protocol (SAP) for heterogeneous computing systems is provided. The adoption of emerging accelerators is key to achieving greater scale and performance in heterogeneous computing systems. The SAP allows for a hardware accelerator to be plug-and-playable in a stand-alone fashion (without needing a local central processing unit (CPU) host) and interact with a remote computing system agent for application acceleration across any network infrastructure. The SAP further facilitates a hardware-agnostic accelerator orchestration (HALO) software framework for hardware-agnostic programming with high performance portability and scalability in heterogeneous computing systems, such as high-performance computing (HPC) systems, data center computing systems, and edge computing systems. Accordingly, embodiments described herein provide a flexible hardware-agnostic environment that allows application developers to develop high-performance applications without knowledge of the underlying hardware. This environment facilitates dynamic plugin of an accelerator onto the network fabric, which can be auto-discovered and utilized by applications.

Abstract: A software-defined board support package (SW-BSP) for stand-alone reconfigurable accelerators is provided. The adoption of emerging accelerators is key to achieving greater scale and performance in heterogeneous computing systems. A stand-alone accelerator protocol (SAP) allows for a hardware accelerator to be plug-and-playable in a stand-alone fashion (without needing a local central processing unit (CPU) host) and interact with a remote computing system agent for application acceleration across any network infrastructure. The SAP further facilitates a hardware-agnostic accelerator orchestration (HALO) software framework for hardware-agnostic programming with high performance portability and scalability in heterogeneous computing systems. The SW-BSP provides an implementation of the SAP on reconfigurable accelerators. Accordingly, embodiments described herein provide a flexible hardware-agnostic environment that allows application developers to develop high-performance applications without knowledge of the underlying hardware. This environment facilitates dynamic plugin of an accelerator onto the network fabric, which can be auto-discovered and utilized by applications.

Abstract: Compute-centric message passing interface (C2MPI) provides a hardware-agnostic message passing interface for heterogenous computing systems. Hardware-agnostic programming with high performance portability is envisioned to be a bedrock for realizing adoption of emerging accelerator technologies in heterogeneous computing systems, such as high-performance computing (HPC) systems, data center computing systems, and edge computing systems. The adoption of emerging accelerators is key to achieving greater scale and performance in heterogeneous computing systems. Accordingly, embodiments described herein provide a flexible hardware-agnostic environment that allows application developers to develop high-performance applications without knowledge of the underlying hardware.
