Embodiments are generally directed apparatuses, methods, techniques and so forth to select two or more processing units of the plurality of processing units to process a workload, and configure a circuit switch to link the two or more processing units to process the workload, the two or more processing units each linked to each other via paths of communication and the circuit switch.

Racks and rack pods to support a plurality of sleds are disclosed herein. Switches for use in the rack pods are also disclosed herein. A rack comprises a plurality of sleds and a plurality of electromagnetic waveguides. The plurality of sleds are vertically spaced from one another. The plurality of electromagnetic waveguides communicate data signals between the plurality of sleds.

Technologies for generating manifest data for a sled include a sled to generate manifest data indicative of one or more characteristics of the sled (e.g., hardware resources, firmware resources, a configuration of the sled, or a health of sled components). The sled is also to associate an identifier with the manifest data. The identifier uniquely identifies the sled from other sleds. Additionally, the sled is to send the manifest data and the associated identifier to a server. The sled may also detect a change in the hardware resources, firmware resources, the configuration, or component health of the sled. The sled may also generate an update of the manifest data based on the detected change, where the update specifies the detected change in the hardware resources, firmware resources, the configuration, or component health of the sled. The sled may also send the update of the manifest data to the server.

Embodiments are generally directed apparatuses, methods, techniques and so forth to receive a sled manifest comprising identifiers for physical resources of a sled, receive results of an authentication and validation operations performed to authenticate and validate the physical resources of the sled, determine whether the results of the authentication and validation operations indicate the physical resources are authenticate or not authenticate. Further and in response to the determination that the results indicate the physical resources are authenticated, permit the physical resources to process a workload, and in response to the determination that the results indicate the physical resources are not authenticated, prevent the physical resources from processing the workload.

Technologies for offloading acceleration task scheduling operations to accelerator sleds include a compute device to receive a request from a compute sled to accelerate the execution of a job, which includes a set of tasks. The compute device is also to analyze the request to generate metadata indicative of the tasks within the job, a type of acceleration associated with each task, and a data dependency between the tasks. Additionally the compute device is to send an availability request, including the metadata, to one or more micro-orchestrators of one or more accelerator sleds communicatively coupled to the compute device. The compute device is further to receive availability data from the one or more micro-orchestrators, indicative of which of the tasks the micro-orchestrator has accepted for acceleration on the associated accelerator sled. Additionally, the compute device is to assign the tasks to the one or more micro-orchestrators as a function of the availability data.

The accelerator includes acceleration circuitry with multiple logic portions, each capable of executing a different workload. Additionally, the accelerator includes communication circuitry to receive a workload to be executed by a logic portion of the accelerator and a dynamic resource allocation logic unit to identify a resource utilization threshold associated with one or more shared resources of the accelerator to be used by a logic portion in the execution of the workload, limit, as a function of the resource utilization threshold, the utilization of the one or more shared resources by the logic portion as the logic portion executes the workload, and subsequently adjust the resource utilization threshold as the workload is executed. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Technologies for providing accelerated functions as a service in a disaggregated architecture include a compute device that is to receive a request for an accelerated task. The task is associated with a kernel usable by an accelerator sled communicatively coupled to the compute device to execute the task. The compute device is further to determine, in response to the request and with a database indicative of kernels and associated accelerator sleds, an accelerator sled that includes an accelerator device configured with the kernel associated with the request. Additionally, the compute device is to assign the task to the determined accelerator sled for execution. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Technologies for dividing work across one or more accelerator devices include a compute device. The compute device is to determine a configuration of each of multiple accelerator devices of the compute device, receive a job to be accelerated from a requester device remote from the compute device, and divide the job into multiple tasks for a parallelization of the multiple tasks among the one or more accelerator devices, as a function of a job analysis of the job and the configuration of each accelerator device. The compute engine is further to schedule the tasks to the one or more accelerator devices based on the job analysis and execute the tasks on the one or more accelerator devices for the parallelization of the multiple tasks to obtain an output of the job.

The communication circuitry 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.
