APPARATUS, ARTICLES OF MANUFACTURE, AND METHODS FOR MANAGING PROCESSING UNITS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134707 titled 'APPARATUS, ARTICLES OF MANUFACTURE, AND METHODS FOR MANAGING PROCESSING UNITS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods for managing processing units. The apparatus includes first processor circuitry to implement a central processing unit and second processor circuitry to perform operations related to obtaining resource requests associated with workloads, determining processing resource availability, and migrating workloads between devices.
- First processor circuitry implements a central processing unit.
- Second processor circuitry performs operations to obtain resource requests associated with workloads.
- Determine if a processing resource of a programmable network device is available for the workload.
- Determine if a second workload can be migrated from the programmable network device.
- Migrate the second workload if possible and execute the first workload on the processing resource of the programmable network device.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in cloud computing environments to optimize resource allocation and workload management.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently managing processing resources in programmable network devices.

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.
