Examples include techniques for artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities at a network switch. These examples include receiving a request to register a neural network for loading to an inference resource located at the network switch and loading the neural network based on information included in the request to support an AI service to be provided by users requesting the AI service.

Various approaches for implementing multi-tenant data protection are described. In an edge computing system deployment, a system includes memory and processing circuitry coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain a workflow execution plan that includes workload metadata defining a plurality of workloads associated with a plurality of edge service instances executing respectively on one or more edge computing devices. The workload metadata is translated to obtain workload configuration information for the plurality of workloads. The workload configuration information identifies a plurality of memory access configurations and service authorizations identifying at least one edge service instance authorized to access one or more of the memory access configurations. The memory is partitioned into a plurality of shared memory regions using the memory access configurations. A memory access request for accessing one of the shared memory regions is processed based on the service authorizations.

Multi-tenant data protection in edge computing environments

A computing apparatus, including: a hardware platform; and an interworking broker function (IBF) hosted on the hardware platform, the IBF including a translation driver (TD) associated with a legacy network appliance lacking native interoperability with an orchestrator, the IBF configured to: receive from the orchestrator a network function provisioning or configuration command for the legacy network appliance; operate the TD to translate the command to a format consumable by the legacy network appliance; and forward the command to the legacy network appliance.

Systems and techniques for intelligent data forwarding in edge networks are described herein. A request may be received from an edge user device for a service via a first endpoint. A time value may be calculated using a timestamp of the request. Motion characteristics may be determined for the edge user device using the time value. A response to the request may be transmitted to a second endpoint based on the motion characteristics.

Methods and apparatus for scale out hardware-assisted tracing schemes for distributed and scale-out applications. In connection with execution of one or more applications using a distributed processing environment including multiple compute nodes, telemetry and tracing data are obtained using hardware-based logic on the compute nodes. Processes associated with applications are identified, as well as the compute nodes on which instances of the processes are executed. Process instances are associated with process application space identifiers (PASIDs), while processes used for an application are associating with a global group identifier (GGID) that serves as an application ID. The PASIDs and GGIDs are used to store telemetry and/or tracing data on the compute nodes and/or forward such data to a tracing server in a manner that enables telemetry and/or tracing data to be aggregated on an application basis. Telemetry and/or tracing data may be obtained from processors on the compute nodes, and (optionally) additional elements such as network interface controllers (NICs). Tracing data may also be obtained from switches used for forwarding data between processes.

Various aspects of methods, systems, and use cases include coordinating actions at an edge device based on power production in a distributed edge computing environment. A method may include identifying a long-term service level agreement (SLA) for a component of an edge device, and determining a list of resources related to the component using the long-term SLA. The method may include scheduling a task for the component based on the long-term SLA, a current battery level at the edge device, a current energy harvest rate at the edge device, or an amount of power required to complete the task. A resource of the list of resources may be used to initiate the task, such as according to the scheduling.

Adaptive power management for edge device

Examples described herein relate to an apparatus that includes a memory and at least one processor where the at least one processor is to receive configuration to gather performance data for a function from one or more platforms and during execution of the function, collect performance data for the function and store the performance data after termination of execution of the function. Some examples include an interface coupled to the at least one processor and the interface is to receive one or more of: an identifier of a function, resources to be tracked as part of function execution, list of devices to be tracked as part of function execution, type of monitoring of function execution, or meta-data to identify when the function is complete. Performance data can be accessed to determine performance of multiple executions of the short-lived function.

Methods and systems that allow a user to see the people or groups who have access to files that are maintained by a plurality of cloud content sharing services. In particular, the user may see what specific party has access to each particular file or directory, regardless of multiple cloud content sharing services involved. Moreover, a user interface and exposed application program interface allows the user to manipulate the permissions, e.g., granting access, to another person or group, to a file or directory. The user interface may also allow the user to terminate access to the file or directory for a person or group. The user's action to change a permission may be effected independently of the particular cloud content sharing service.

Unifying interface for cloud content sharing services

Example edge gateway circuitry to schedule service requests in a network computing system includes: gateway-level hardware queue manager circuitry to: parse the service requests based on service parameters in the service requests; and schedule the service requests in a queue based on the service parameters, the service requests received from client devices; and hardware queue manager communication interface circuitry to send ones of the service requests from the queue to rack-level hardware queue manager circuitry in a physical rack, the ones of the service requests corresponding to functions as a service provided by resources in the physical rack.

Technologies for accelerated key caching in an edge hierarchy include multiple edge appliance devices organized in tiers. An edge appliance device receives a request for a key, such as a private key. The edge appliance device determines whether the key is included in a local key cache and, if not, requests the key from an edge appliance device included in an inner tier of the edge hierarchy. The edge appliance device may request the key from an edge appliance device included in a peer tier of the edge hierarchy. The edge appliance device may activate per-tenant accelerated logic to identify one or more keys in the key cache for eviction. The edge appliance device may activate per-tenant accelerated logic to identify one or more keys for pre-fetching. Those functions of the edge appliance device may be performed by an accelerator such as an FPGA. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
