Abstract: A process includes a port of a bridge providing a reference clock signal to a first end of an interconnect extending between the first port and a network interface controller. The reference clock signal propagates over the interconnect to provide, at a second end of the interconnect, a delayed reference clock signal at the network interface controller. Pursuant to the process, the bridge senses a timing of the delayed reference clock signal. The process includes communicating management traffic between a network interface of a baseboard management controller and the network interface controller via the interconnect. The communication of the management traffic includes the port, responsive to the sensing of the timing of the delayed reference clock signal, synchronizing communication of data with the first end of the interconnect to the delayed reference clock signal.

Abstract: A supervisory service of a node that includes a smart input/output (I/O) peripheral is extended into a cloud operator domain that is associated with the smart I/O peripheral. The supervisory service determines a state of a ready state indicator that is provided by the smart I/O peripheral. Based on the state, the supervisory service performs at least one of regulating an availability of an instance of an application operating environment of the node or determining whether the smart I/O peripheral is ready to be configured by the supervisory service.

Abstract: A process includes an application layer of a host of a computer platform using a smart network interface card (NIC) of the computer platform to provide an input/output (I/O) service for the application layer. The I/O service includes a service that is associated with a cloud operator domain; the smart NIC is installed in a connector; and the application layers associated with a cloud tenant domain. The process includes a baseboard management controller of the smart NIC managing the computer platform. Managing the computer platform includes the baseboard management controller managing the host; the baseboard management controller managing components of the smart NIC other than the baseboard management controller; and managing the host includes the baseboard management controller communicating with the host via the connector to control a system power state of the computer platform.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to a self-tune controller. For example, the self-tune controller may poll, via an out-of-band data stream, low-level operation information about a processor or a bus of a computing system under a present workload. At least some of the low-level operation information may be descriptive of a nature of traffic on the bus. The self-tune controller may program, via an out-of-band control signal, a setting of the computing system for the present workload based on the low-level operation information.
