Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to facilitate network interface device based edge computing. A disclosed example includes threshold analyzer circuitry to identify a resource inactivity threshold for first a resource associated with the network interface device, the resource inactivity threshold indicative of a duration of time that the first resource is not utilized; resource allocator circuitry to determine that the resource meets the resource inactivity threshold; and virtual platform manager circuitry to generate a virtual platform associated with the network interface device based on the determination, the generated virtual platform to reduce latency in execution of a function.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a circuit board that includes a device, firmware memory, and a power controller. In some examples, the firmware memory is to store a firmware update and in response to a software-initiated command, the power controller is to reduce power to the device to cause a firmware update of the device and restore power to the device to cause execution of the firmware update. In some examples, the power controller is to reduce power solely to the device independent from power supply to at least one other device. In some examples, device configuration is saved prior to reduction of power to the device and restored to the device after power is restored to the device.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a network interface receiving a firmware update from one or more packets. In some examples, the one or more packets indicate a start of a firmware update. In some examples, the network interface can also perform authenticating the start of firmware update indication and based on authentication of the firmware update, permit a firmware update of a device. In some examples, the device is one or more of: Board Management Controller (BMC), central processing unit (CPU), network interface, Ethernet controller, storage controller, memory controller, display engine, graphics processing unit (GPU), accelerator device, or peripheral device. In some examples, an end of firmware update indicator is received in the one or more packets. In some examples, communications are maintained through a port during a firmware change.
