Technologies for providing shared memory for accelerator sleds includes an accelerator sled to receive, with a memory controller, a memory access request from an accelerator device to access a region of memory. The request is to identify the region of memory with a logical address. Additionally, the accelerator sled is to determine from a map of logical addresses and associated physical address, the physical address associated with the region of memory. In addition, the accelerator sled is to route the memory access request to a memory device associated with the determined physical address.

Deferred reclaiming of secure guest resources within a computing environment is provided, which includes initiating, by a host of the computing environment, removal of a secure guest from the computing environment, while leaving one or more resources of the secure guest to be reclaimed asynchronous to the removal of the secure guest. The deferring also includes reclaiming the one or more secure guest resources asynchronous to the removal of the secure guest, where the one or more secure guest resources are available for reuse as the one or more secure guest resources are reclaimed asynchronous to the removal of the secure guest.

In some examples, a method comprises determining, at an electronic device having a first component of a first component type, a unique identifier associated with the first component. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the unique identifier does not match the expected identifier of the component of the first component type in the electronic device, determining that the first component associated with the unique identifier satisfies one or more eligibility criteria. In some examples, in accordance with the determination that the first component associated with the unique identifier satisfies the one or more eligibility criteria, authenticating an association of the first component with the electronic device, including updating an installation counter associated with the first component, and updating the expected identifier for the component of the first type based on the unique identifier of the first component.

According to one embodiment, a secure storage unit replacement and locking system includes computer-executable instructions to receive a request to remove one of the storage units from the enclosure, and generate a key, wherein the key includes information for identifying the one storage unit to be removed. When the key is presented at the enclosure, the instructions receive information associated with the key when the key is located at the disk enclosure, determine which one of the plurality of storage units are to be unlocked by the key, and unlock the one storage unit according to the determination.

An apparatus is described that includes an execution unit to execute a first instruction and a second instruction. The execution unit includes input register space to store a first data structure to be replicated when executing the first instruction and to store a second data structure to be replicated when executing the second instruction. The first and second data structures are both packed data structures. Data values of the first packed data structure are twice as large as data values of the second packed data structure. The execution unit also includes replication logic circuitry to replicate the first data structure when executing the first instruction to create a first replication data structure, and, to replicate the second data structure when executing the second data instruction to create a second replication data structure. The execution unit also includes masking logic circuitry to mask the first replication data structure at a first granularity and mask the second replication data structure at a second granularity. The second granularity is twice as fine as the first granularity.
