A data processing system comprises a pool of reconfigurable data flow resources with arrays of physical configurable units, a controller, and a runtime processor. The controller is configured to generate a hot-plug event in response to detecting a removal of an unallocated array of physical configurable units from the pool of reconfigurable data flow resources. The runtime processor is configured to execute user applications on a subset of the arrays of physical configurable units and to receive the hot-plug event from the controller. The runtime processor is further configured to make the removed unallocated array of physical configurable units unavailable for subsequent allocations of subsequent virtual data flow resources and subsequent executions of subsequent user applications, while the subset of the arrays of physical configurable units continues the execution of the user applications.

Hot-plug events in a pool of reconfigurable data flow resources

A fault management system (FMS) receives events indicating an issue with a component in the system and determines, based on an inventory database, the component associated with the events. The FMS creates, based at least in part on the events, an error report that includes: (i) an error type identifying a type of error described in the error report, (ii) a timestamp indicating when the error report was created, and (iii) a universal unique identifier (UUID) to uniquely identify the error report. The FMS determines, based at least in part on the error report, a policy associated with the events and classifies the events, based at least in part on the policy, as either a threshold event or a discrete event. The FMS performs one or more actions to address the events.

The technology disclosed relates to inter-node execution of configuration files on reconfigurable processors using network interface controller (NIC) buffers. In particular, the technology disclosed relates to a runtime logic that is configured to execute configuration files that define applications and application data for applications using a first reconfigurable processor connected to a first host, and a second reconfigurable processor connected to a second host. The first reconfigurable processor is configured to push input data for the applications in a first plurality of buffers. The first host is configured to cause a first network interface controller (NIC) to stream the input data to a second plurality of buffers from the first plurality of buffers. The second host is configured to cause a second NIC to stream the input data to the second reconfigurable processor from the second plurality of buffers.

The technology disclosed relates to runtime execution of functions across reconfigurable processor. In particular, the technology disclosed relates to a runtime logic that is configured to execute a first set of functions in a plurality of functions and/or data therefor on a first reconfigurable processor, and a second set of functions in the plurality of functions and/or data therefor on additional reconfigurable processors. Functions in the second set of functions and/or the data therefor are transmitted to the additional reconfigurable processors using one or more of a first reconfigurable processor-to-additional reconfigurable processors buffers, and results of executing the functions and/or the data therefor on the additional reconfigurable processors are transmitted to the first reconfigurable processor using one or more of additional reconfigurable processors-to-first reconfigurable processor buffers.

Runtime execution of functions across reconfigurable processor

A data processing system comprises a pool of reconfigurable data flow resources and a runtime processor. The pool of reconfigurable data flow resources includes arrays of physical configurable units and memory. The runtime processor includes logic to receive a plurality of configuration files for user applications. The configuration files include configurations of virtual data flow resources required to execute the user applications. The runtime processor also includes logic to allocate physical configurable units and memory in the pool of reconfigurable data flow resources to the virtual data flow resources and load the configuration files to the allocated physical configurable units. The runtime processor further includes logic to execute the user applications using the allocated physical configurable units and memory.

A Compact Peripheral Component Interconnect (CPCI) system is provided that allows an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) controller to be virtualized across many interested client entities. The system may include one or more interfaces that are provided by a virtualizing entity to allow a client application to obtain a handle to a virtual micro-controller, interfaces that are provided to reserve exclusive rights on certain IPMI commands on a particular virtual controller, and/or interfaces that are provided to request for a particular type of asynchronous message received on an IPMI micro-controller. In addition, the system may provide a reservation of IPMI sequence numbers over a virtual client and a usage of the IPMI sequence numbers to decide the intended virtual controller. The system may also be used to perform the many independent management tasks.

The I2C slave devices can be managed without an external and/or a dedicated I2C master controller. In one embodiment, a translation module is provided to an IPMI micro-controller that can represent I2C interface to I2C device drivers. In another embodiment, the translation module can represent an interface for an IPMI controller to I2C device drivers located in one or more I2C devices and/or I2C controllers.
