A resource-capability-and-connectivity-based workload performance improvement system includes a resource management device coupled to processing systems and memory systems. The resource management device receives a request to perform a first workload, identifies a DAG that includes functions for performing the first workload, and uses first parameters in the DAG to configure the processing systems and the memory subsystems to perform the functions. Based on performance of the functions, the resource management device determines function modification(s) for at least one of the functions and, based on the function modification(s), modifies the first parameters included in the DAG to provide modified parameters. When the resource management device receives a request to perform a second workload, it identifies the DAG that includes the functions for performing the second workload, and uses the modified parameters in the DAG to configure the processing systems and the memory subsystems to perform the functions.

A method for processing service fault assessment requests. The method includes: receiving a service fault assessment request concerning a new composed service; making a determination that the new composed service is already configured; based on the determination: building a service fault matrix for the new composed service; obtaining a cluster fault matrix for a composed service cluster to which the new composed service belongs; making a second determination, based on a search performed using the service fault matrix and the cluster fault matrix, that an overlapping composable resource has been identified; based on the second determination: generating a service fault assessment report including identification metadata associated with the overlapping composable resource; and providing the service fault assessment report in response to the service fault assessment request.

Fault isolation for composed services

An information handling system includes a processor having a first data storage device in a first memory tier, a second data storage device in a second memory tier, and a tiering manager. The first tier exhibits first data storage attributes and the second tier exhibits second data storage attributes. The tiering manager receives first memory access information from the first data storage device and second memory access information from the second data storage device, makes a determination that a first performance level of the information handling system when first data is stored in the first data storage device can be improved to a second performance level of the information handling system by swapping the first data to the second data storage device based upon the first memory access information and the second memory access information, and swaps the first data to the second data storage device in response to the determination.

Distributed region tracking for tiered memory systems

An information handling system may include a processor; a network interface; and a physical storage resource having data stored thereon that is usable by a virtual resource that is executable on the processor. The network interface may accelerate migration of the data to a destination system by, in response to a command from a virtual machine manager: offloading, from the processor, a copying process configured to copy the data to the destination system; tracking portions of the data that are changed by the virtual resource during the copying process; notifying the virtual machine manager that a designated checkpoint has been reached in the copying process; causing the virtual resource to pause; completing the copying process; and causing the virtual resource to resume and use the copied data at the destination instead of the data on the physical storage resource.

Techniques described herein relate to a method for performing computational offloads for composed information handling systems. The method includes obtaining, by a system control processor associated with a composed information handling system, a computational offload request associated with a dataset from an application executing on an at least one compute resource set; in response to obtaining the computational offload request: identifying a dataset location associated with the dataset in the composed information handling system; identifying resources of the composed information handling system capable of performing the computational offload request; selecting a resource of the resources to perform the computational offload; and initiating performance of the computational offload request on the selected resource.

Computational offloads for composed information handling systems

A tiered memory system includes a tiered memory management system that is coupled to a first memory subsystem associated with a first memory subsystem tier, and a second memory subsystem associated with a second memory subsystem tier that is different than the first memory subsystem tier. The tiered memory management system monitors a health of the first memory subsystem associated with the first memory subsystem tier and the second memory subsystem associated with the second memory subsystem tier. When the tiered memory management system identifies a health issue with the first memory subsystem associated with the first memory subsystem tier, it moves data stored in the first memory subsystem associated with the first memory subsystem tier to the second memory subsystem associated with the second memory subsystem tier.

Tiered memory management system

A system control processor manager uses composed information handling systems that utilize resource sets of information handling systems and an infrastructure manager. The infrastructure manager obtains a composition request for a composed information handling system; allocates a portion of resource sets to the composed information handling system using a telemetry data map; makes a determination that at least one of the portion of the allocated resource sets is hosted by an information handling system that does not include a physical system control processor; and in response to the determination: provides the information handling system with access to a system control processor without adding any physical system control processors to the information handling system; and directs access requests, by entities hosted by the information handling system and directed to the portion of the allocated resource sets, through the system control processor.

A Logically Composed System (LCS) data provisioning system includes an orchestrator device that includes a cache subsystem and that is coupled to client devices and storage subsystem(s). When the orchestrator device identifies that a first client device has exclusive access to the storage subsystem(s), it activates read data caching for the storage subsystem(s). The orchestrator device then receives a first read request from the first client device that is directed to first data that is stored in the storage subsystem(s) and, in response, retrieves the first data from the cache subsystem and provides the first data to the first client device. When the orchestrator device identifies that the first client device no longer has exclusive access to the storage subsystem(s), it deactivates the read data caching for the storage subsystem(s).

LCS data provisioning system

An information handling system may include a first host system, comprising a first processor and a first network interface, and a second host system, comprising a second processor and a second network interface. The first network interface may be configured to accelerate migration of a designated virtual resource from the first host system to the second host system.

An LCS data compression/decompression system includes an orchestrator device in a resource system with a host operating system and coupled to a storage system via a network. The orchestrator device receives a read instruction from the host operating system directed to data stored in the storage system and, in response, retrieves and uses a data read decompression policy to select one of the storage system and the orchestrator device to perform data decompression operations on the data. The orchestrator device then provides a data read decompression instruction to the storage system to cause the storage system to provide the data to the orchestrator device such that the orchestrator device provides the data to the host operation system after the one of the storage system and the orchestrator device selected using the data read decompression policy performs the data decompression operations on the data.
