Abstract
The invention is notably directed to a method, computer program product, and computer system for running software inside containers. The method relies on a computerized system that includes a composable disaggregated infrastructure, in addition to general-purpose hardware. The computerized system is configured to dynamically allocate computerized resources, which include both general resources and specialized resources. The former are enabled by the general-purpose hardware, while the latter are enabled by specialized network-attached hardware components of the composable disaggregated infrastructure. The method maintains a table capturing specializations of the specialized network-attached hardware components. At runtime, software is run inside each container by executing corresponding functions. A first subset of the functions are executed using the general resources, whereas a second subset of the functions are executed using the specialized resources, by offloading the second subset of functions to respective components of the specialized network-attached hardware components, in accordance with the specializations.
