Abstract
Technology related to scheduling services on a platform including configurable computing resources is disclosed. In one example, a method includes scheduling a first service to execute on a computing node based on an availability of general-purpose computing resources at the computing node. The computing node can be selected from a plurality of computing nodes. Network traffic transiting the computing node can be analyzed during the execution of the first service to determine a hardware accelerator of the computing node is capable of assisting the execution of the first service. The hardware accelerator can be used to assist with the execution of the first service. A second service can be scheduled on the computing node based on the availability of the general-purpose computing resources and the usage of the hardware accelerator on the computing node.
