Methods and apparatus for software-defined coherent caching of pooled memory. The pooled memory is implemented in an environment having a disaggregated architecture where compute resources such as compute platforms are connected to disaggregated memory via a network or fabric. Software-defined caching policies are implemented in hardware in a processor SoC or discrete device such as a Network Interface Controller (NIC) by programming logic in an FPGA or accelerator on the SoC or discrete device. The programmed logic is configured to implement software-defined caching policies in hardware for effecting disaggregated memory (DM) caching in an associated DM cache of at least a portion of an address space allocated for the software application in the disaggregated memory. In connection with DM cache operations, such as cache lines evicted from a CPU, logic implemented in hardware determines whether a cache line in a DM cache is to be evicted and implements the software-defined caching policy for the DM cache including associated memory coherency operations.

Methods and apparatus to adaptively manage data collection devices in distributed computing systems are disclosed. Example disclosed methods involve instructing a first data collection device to operate according to a first rule. The example first rule specifies a first operating mode and defining a first event of interest. Example disclosed methods also involve obtaining first data from the first data collection device while operating according to the first rule. Example disclosed methods also involve, in response to determining that the first event of interest has occurred based on the first data, providing a second rule based on the first data to the first data collection device, and providing a third rule to a second data collection device. The example second rule specifies a second operating mode and defines a second event of interest, and the examples third rule specifies a third operating mode.

Methods and apparatus to adaptively manage data collection devices in distributed computing systems

A system and method for managing sensors including determining health operation states of the sensors correlative with sensor accuracy, classifying the sensors by their respective health operation state, and teaming two sensors each having a health operation state that is intermediate to give a team having a health operation state that is healthy. The sampling frequency of the sensors to determine sensor accuracy may be dynamic.

Methods, apparatuses, and storage media associated with compaction of data from one or more computing devices are disclosed. In various embodiments, one or more Internet of Things (IoT) devices may transmit information to a computing system. The computing system may group together raw data received from these one or more IoT devices based on a shared attribute. The computing system may select a compaction scheme to represent the knowledge conveyed by a group of the raw data. The computing system may apply this compaction scheme to the group of raw data to generate data that is representative of the group of raw data. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.
