Abstract
Systems and methods related to harvesting of the unused resources in a distributed computing system are described. An example method, in a system including a host server, having a first instruction set architecture (ISA), and an interface card, having a second ISA is provided. The method includes designating at least one type of resource, associated with the host server for harvesting by compute entities configured for execution using the processor having the second ISA, where the host server is configured to execute compute entities requiring execution by the processor having the first ISA. The method further includes in response to a request for accessing the at least one type of resource by a compute entity, executing on the processor having the second ISA, automatically allowing the compute entity to access the at least one type of resource associated with the host server.
