Abstract:
Examples may include techniques to enable synchronized execution of a command by nodes in a network fabric. A node capable of hosting a fabric manager for the network fabric (fabric manager node) may generate one or more packets including a command to be executed by at least some nodes in the network fabric. In some examples, a time stamp is also included with at least one of the one or more packets to indicate to receiving nodes to execute the command at a synchronized time.
Abstract:
Various embodiments are generally directed to an apparatus, method and other techniques to create an idle period for a processing unit and a switching circuit by buffering one or more packets in a buffer for one or more input/output (I/O) ports. Embodiments may include causing the processing unit and/or the switching circuit to operate in a lower power state during the idle period and causing the processing unit and/or the switching circuit to exit the lower power state by communicating one or more out-of-band messages to the processing unit and/or the switching circuit.
Abstract:
Examples may include techniques to provide performance optimizing of service chains to reduce bottlenecks and/or increase efficiency. Information for performance of virtual elements of a service chain implemented using a shared pool of configurable computing resources may be received. The resource allocation of portions of the configurable computing resources supporting virtual elements of the service chain can be adjusted based on the received information.
