A network for actuating a plurality of controllers to perform a selected functions includes a plurality of programmable chips communicatively coupled to a corresponding controller. Each programmable chip includes a software manager having a first data processing hardware and a first memory hardware. The first memory hardware stores instructions that causes the first data processing hardware to perform a primary function. An activation profile is stored in the first memory hardware and includes a list of software entities having an identifier identifying a primary function and/or a dependent function. The software manager of at least one of the plurality of controllers is further configured to process the activation profile and perform activation of the software entities by determining each of the plurality of controllers that hosts the software entities having the primary function and/or dependent function needed to perform the desired function.
