Abstract:
Self-healing networks of Infrastructure Processing Units (IPUs) and associated methods and apparatus. The self-healing IPUs manage other processing units (XPU) clusters by seamlessly migrating the IPU responsibilities to another IPU in the networked environment (e.g., data center) that may be available when an IPU failures or becomes unavailable. A central Resource Manager is used to monitors the health of the IPUs in the data center and in the event of in IPU failure, locates another IPU and assigns it to take over the failed IPU's functions. Replacement and workload migration of a failed XPU in an IPU managed XPU cluster with a remote XPU that is network connected is also supported. The IPU monitors the health of the XPUs in its cluster an informs the Resource Manager of an XPU failure which locates another XPU in the data center and assigns it to the cluster that has the failed XPU.
Abstract:
A policy based mechanism that enforces use of compute resources in a data center by authorized entities is provided. The policies include a set of policies associated with a requestor of compute resources and a set of policies associated with the use of resources in the data center. The policies are stored in a tamper proof way in a secure storage in the data center.
Abstract:
An Internet-of-Things (IoT) device platform to communicate in a trusted portion of an IoT network is disclosed. The trusted IoT platform can include a secure IoT system-on-chip (SoC) and can be integrated into various devices such that each of the devices may implement “roots of trust” to establish a trusted portion, or a trusted backbone, of the IoT network.
Abstract:
Technologies for supporting and implementing multiple digital rights management protocols on a client device are described. In some embodiments, the technologies include a client device having an architectural enclave which may function to identify one of a plurality of digital rights management protocols for protecting digital information to be received from a content provider or a sensor. The architectural enclave select a preexisting secure information processing environment (SIPE) to process said digital information, if a preexisting SIPE supporting the DRM protocol is present on the client. If a preexisting SIPE supporting the DRM protocol is not present on the client, the architectural enclave may general a new SIPE that supports the DRM protocol on the client. Transmission of the digital information may then be directed to the selected preexisting SIPE or the new SIPE, as appropriate.
