Abstract:
A system and method of provisioning virtualized computational resources in a networked computer architecture includes a client device to run a client application, a server device, and a resource controller. The server device includes one or more processors having a local memory, and provides a virtual resource layer through which one or more virtual processing resources can be defined and through which one or more physical processors of said server device can be assigned to one or more of said virtual processing resources. The physical processors process at least a part of a data processing workload from said one or more client applications, each workload including input data having a static data part and a dynamic data part. The resource controller assigns a virtual processing resource to a plurality of client applications, where the input data for the workload of each client application has the same static data part.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of monitoring operation of programmable logic for a streaming processor, the method comprising: generating a graph representing the programmable logic to be implemented in hardware, the graph comprising nodes and edges connecting nodes in the graph; inserting, on each edge, monitoring hardware to monitor flow of data along the edge. Also disclosed is a method of monitoring operation of programmable logic for a streaming processor, the method comprising: generating a graph representing the programmable logic to be implemented in hardware, the graph comprising nodes and edges connecting the nodes in the graph; inserting, on at least one edge, data-generating hardware arranged to receive data from an upstream node and generate data at known values having the same flow control pattern as the received data for onward transmission to a connected node.
