A job scheduling system includes a primary job scheduler and a secondary scheduling gatekeeper. The primary job scheduler provides primary scheduling primitives. The primary job scheduler is configured to activate a first job on an activation date determined based on a primary scheduling definition of the first job, and execute a secondary scheduling gatekeeper to evaluate whether a target program associated with the first job is executed during the activation. The gatekeeper provides enhanced scheduling primitives that include scheduling primitives not in the primary scheduling primitives. The gatekeeper is configured to evaluate a secondary scheduling definition of the first job to determine whether the first job should continue to execution and return the enhanced scheduling result to the primary job scheduler. The secondary scheduling definition is configured using the set of enhanced scheduling primitives. The system causes the execution of the target program based on the result.

A processing system is configured to dynamically carry out processes. A method for monitoring the processing system includes steps of determining a number of processes running on the processing system; of determining a maximum expected number of processes; of determining that more processes than expected are running; and of deactivating the processing system.

A battery management system in which each of a plurality of battery management systems performs an individual task and transmits results of the tasks to a master battery management system wirelessly, the battery management system including: a task information storage unit including a list of tasks performed by each of the plurality of battery management systems, the performance time, performance cycle, and work priority of each task included in the list of tasks, and the communication priority among the plurality of battery management systems, a schedule determination unit configured to determine a work schedule on the basis of data stored in the task information storage unit, and a priority changing unit configured to adjust the work priority of a task based on the work schedule determined by the schedule determination unit, wherein the schedule determination unit is further configured to adjust the work schedule according to the adjusted work priority.

A method of operating an accelerator includes receiving, from a central processing unit (CPU), commands for the accelerator and a peripheral device of the accelerator, processing the received commands according to a subject of performance of each of the commands, and transmitting a completion message indicating that performance of the commands is completed to the CPU after the performance of the commands is completed.

A configurable logic platform may include a physical interconnect for connecting to a processing system, first and second reconfigurable logic regions, a configuration port for applying configuration data to the first and second reconfigurable logic regions, and a reconfiguration logic function accessible via transactions of the physical interconnect, the reconfiguration logic function providing restricted access to the configuration port from the physical interconnect. The platform may include a first interface function providing an interface to the first reconfigurable logic region and a second interface function providing an interface to the first reconfigurable logic region. The first and second interface functions may allow information to be transmitted over the physical interconnect and prevent the respective reconfigurable logic region from directly accessing the physical interconnect. The platform may include logic configured to apportion bandwidth of the physical interconnect among the interface functions.

A method of scheduling tasks within a GPU or other highly parallel processing unit is described which is both age-aware and wakeup event driven. Tasks which are received are added to an age-based task queue. Wakeup event bits for task types, or combinations of task types and data groups, are set in response to completion of a task dependency and these wakeup event bits are used to select an oldest task from the queue that satisfies predefined criteria.

A system is configured to run jobs in Kubernetes based on PBS job inputs. The system may convert a PBS input, such as in the form of a PBS job command line input and/or a PBS job script, to a Kubernetes job configuration file. A Kubernetes system may then perform a job according to the Kubernetes job configuration file. Through implementation of the conversion process, PBS users can leverage the capabilities of Kubernetes to have jobs performed without having to know how to use Kubernetes.

Technologies for switching network traffic include a network switch. The network switch includes one or more processors and communication circuitry coupled to the one or more processors. The communication circuity is capable of switching network traffic of multiple link layer protocols. Additionally, the network switch includes one or more memory devices storing instructions that, when executed, cause the network switch to receive, with the communication circuitry through an optical connection, network traffic to be forwarded, and determine a link layer protocol of the received network traffic. The instructions additionally cause the network switch to forward the network traffic as a function of the determined link layer protocol. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for managing a number of wavefronts permitted to concurrently execute in a processing system. An apparatus includes a register file with a plurality of registers and a plurality of compute units configured to execute wavefronts. A control unit of the apparatus is configured to allow a first number of wavefronts to execute concurrently on the plurality of compute units. The control unit is configured to allow no more than a second number of wavefronts to execute concurrently on the plurality of compute units, wherein the second number is less than the first number, in response to detection that thrashing of the register file is above a threshold. The control unit is configured to detect said thrashing based at least in part on a number of registers in use by executing wavefronts that spill to memory

Embodiments of the present disclosure can provide distributed system resource allocation methods and apparatuses. The method comprises: receiving a resource preemption request sent by a resource scheduling server, the resource preemption request comprising job execution information corresponding to a first job management server; determining, according to the job execution information corresponding to the first job management server and comprised in the resource preemption request, resources to be returned by a second job management server and a resource return deadline; and returning, according to and the resource return deadline and a current job execution progress of the second job management server, the resources to be returned to the resource scheduling server before expiration of the resource return deadline.
