摘要:
Technologies for auto-migration in accelerated architectures include multiple compute sleds, accelerator sleds, and storage sleds. Each of the compute sleds includes phase detection logic to receive an indication from an application presently executing on the compute sled that indicates a compute kernel associated with the application has been offloaded to a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) of an accelerator sled. The phase detection logic is further to monitor a plurality of hardware threads associated with the application, detect whether a phase change has been detected as a function of the monitored hardware threads, and migrate, in response to having detected the phase change, the hardware threads to another compute element having a lower-performance central processing unit (CPU) relative to the CPU the application is presently being executed on. Other embodiments are described herein.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for initializing and synchronizing a protected real time clock via hardware connections. For example, in some embodiments, a protected real time clock on a trusted execution environment may initialize via a hardware connection to a master clock, which is synchronized to a trusted time source via a hardware connection. In some embodiments, a protected real time clock on a trusted execution environment may initialize to a master clock during a system hardware reset sequence. In some embodiments, before a system is running normally, a real time clock on an integrated Intellectual Property agent may initialize and synchronize to a protected real time clock via a hardware connection. In some embodiments, after a system is running normally, a real time clock on a discrete device may initialize and synchronize to a protected real time clock via a hardware connection.

In one embodiment, a node includes at least one core to independently execute instructions; a first host device to receive information from the at least one core and to include the information in a first packet of a first communication protocol; a selection logic coupled to the first host device to receive the first packet and to provide the first packet to a conversion logic or a first interface to communicate with a first device via a first interconnect of the first communication protocol; the conversion logic to receive the first packet under selection of the selection logic and to encapsulate the first packet into a second packet of a second communication protocol; and a second interface coupled to the conversion logic to receive the second packet and to communicate the second packet to a second device via a second interconnect of the second communication protocol. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques for adaptive memory metadata allocation. A processor may determine a first memory region of a plurality of memory regions in a memory pool coupled to the processor via an interface. The processor may modify a metadata of the first memory region from a first configuration to a second configuration, where the first configuration is associated with a first number of error correction code (ECC) bits and the second configuration is associated with a second number of ECC bits.

Generally, this disclosure provides systems, devices, methods and computer readable media for dynamic configuration and enforcement of access lanes to I/O controllers. The System may include a plurality of Input/Output (I/O) controllers and a plurality of lanes. The system may also include a lane mapping module configured to multiplex at least one of the I/O controllers to at least one of the lanes based on a configuration. The system may further include a first processor configured to detect a change request, the change request to modify the configuration from an existing configuration to a new configuration; and a second processor configured to: verify that the new configuration is valid based on a stock keeping unit (SKU) associated with the system; and, if the verification is successful, store the new configuration in non-volatile memory and reset the system.

In an embodiment, a processor includes a first chip of a multi-chip package (MCP). The first chip includes at least one core and first chip temperature control (TC) logic to assert a first power adjustment signal at a second chip of the MCP responsive to an indication that a first chip temperature of the first chip exceeds a first threshold. The processor also includes a conduit that includes a bi-directional pin to couple the first chip to the second chip within the MCP. The conduit is to transport the first power adjustment signal from the first chip to the second chip and the first power adjustment signal is to cause an adjustment of a second chip power consumption of the second chip. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要:
Mechanisms to enable management controllers to learn the control plane hierarchy in data center environments. The data center is configured in a physical hierarchy including multiple pods, racks, trays, and sleds and associated switches. Management controllers at various levels in a control plane hierarchy and associated with switches in the physical hierarchy are configured to add their IP addresses to DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) responses that are generated by a DCHP server in response to DCHP requests for IP address requests initiated by DHCP clients including manageability controllers, compute nodes and storage nodes in the data center. As the DCHP response traverses each of multiple switches along a forwarding path from the DCHP server to the DHCP client, an IP address of the manageability controller associated with the switch is inserted. Upon receipt at the DHCP client, the inserted IP addresses are extracted and used to automate learning of the control plane hierarchy.
