Original Abstract Submitted
Apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods for managing processing units are disclosed. An example apparatus includes first processor circuitry to implement a central processing unit and second processor circuitry to perform at least one of first operations, second operations or third operations to obtain a resource request associated with a first workload; determine if a processing resource of a programmable network device is available to perform processing for the workload; determine if a second workload can be migrated from execution on the programmable network device; based on the determination that the second workload can be migrated, cause the second workload to be migrated; and cause the first workload to execute on the processing resource of the programmable network device.
