A method for managing general-purpose graphical processing units (GPGPUs) in a data center system is described. The method includes receiving, by a proxy agent, a GPGPU request from an application; selecting a GPGPU from a set of GPGPUs for processing a workload of the application based on one or more of available resources of the set of GPGPUs and requirements of the workload as indicated by the GPGPU request; establishing a session between an application agent located on a compute node on which the application is located and the proxy agent, and a second session between the GPGPU and the proxy agent in response to selecting the GPGPU to allow the GPGPU to process the workload, including subsequent GPGPU requests associated with the workload; and collecting a performance profile to describe usage of resources of the GPGPU by the workload.

Sharing and oversubscription of general-purpose graphical processing units in data centers

A data storage system in which different copies of a data object (e.g., a file) can be compressed using different compression processes (e.g. different compression algorithms/processes and/or compression parameters), with some favoring faster decompression, while others favoring storage space savings. When a data object needs to be accessed, the copy of the data object that can be decompressed using minimal resource (computing and/or time) can be located and retrieved.

A method for offloading services of a sewer application in a network system. The method includes receiving, by a first in-network computation offload instance, a first request packet from a client application, wherein the first request packet includes a first application payload for processing by the server application; generating, by the first instance, a modified request packet that includes the first application payload and first offload information that describes the first instance for use by the server application in coordinating offloading processing to one or more in-network computation offload instances; and transmitting, by the first instance, the modified request packet to the next device in the traffic flow between the client application and the server application, wherein the next device is either (1) a second in-network computation offload instance in the traffic flow between the client application and the server application or (2) the sewer application.

Resource allocation problems involve identification of resource, selection by certain criteria and offering of resources to the requester. Identification of required resources may involve matching the type of resource, selecting based on user requirements and policy criteria, and offering the resource through an assignment system. An apparatus and a method are provided that enable identification and selection of resources. The method includes receiving a resource allocation request for the allocation of a resource, the resource allocation request specifying a set of user requirements. The method includes receiving an operator policy associated with the resource, the operator policy including one or more policy requirements. The method includes synthesizing a resource request based on the resource allocation request and the operator policy. Synthesizing the resource request based on the resource allocation request and the operator policy comprises combining the user requirements with the one or more of the policy requirements.

A method and a reallocation component for managing a reallocation of information from a source memory sled to a target memory sled. The source and target memory sleds comprise a respective table indicating source status for each page of the source and target memory sleds, respectively. The reallocation component initiates, for each respective source page whose status indicates that the respective source page is initialized, reallocation of the respective content allocated on each respective source page of the source memory sled to a respective target page of the target memory sled. The reallocation component sets for each respective source page whose status indicates that the respective source page is uninitialized, the respective target status for the respective target page to indicate uninitialized, while refraining from reallocating the respective content allocated on each respective source page whose status indicates that the respective source page is uninitialized.

Migrating an application executing in a source compute sled to a target compute sled. The migration component selects a first sub-set of source pages. A respective source status of each source page of the first sub-set is modified according to a source table. A target table of the target compute sled is set to indicate that a first sub-set of target pages are modified. The migration component migrates the respective content stored in the first sub-set of source pages to target pages and selects a second sub-set of source pages, wherein the respective source status of each source page of the second sub-set is modified according to the source table. The migration component sets the target table to indicate that a second sub-set of target pages is allocated in the memory and then moves the respective content stored in the second sub-set of source pages to the memory.
