DISAGGREGATED COMPUTING FOR DISTRIBUTED CONFIDENTIAL COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18511296 titled 'DISAGGREGATED COMPUTING FOR DISTRIBUTED CONFIDENTIAL COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus for facilitating disaggregated computing in a distributed confidential computing environment. This apparatus involves receiving a manifest representing memory regions of a remote client machine, identifying command buffers and associated data structures and kernels, copying necessary data to host and local memory, and updating addresses in the command buffer.

  • The apparatus includes one or more processors.
  • It receives a manifest representing memory regions of a remote client machine.
  • It identifies command buffers, associated data structures, and kernels.
  • It copies necessary data to host memory.
  • It copies kernels to local memory of the hardware accelerator.
  • It updates addresses in the command buffer with updated addresses in the host memory.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in secure cloud computing environments, confidential data processing, and distributed computing systems.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of securely transferring and executing sensitive data and code in a distributed computing environment while maintaining confidentiality and integrity.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved security, efficient data processing, and enhanced confidentiality in distributed computing environments.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Secure cloud computing services
  • Confidential data processing solutions
  • Distributed computing platforms

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle potential security vulnerabilities in the hardware accelerator?

The article does not provide details on how the apparatus addresses security vulnerabilities in the hardware accelerator.

What are the potential limitations of this technology in terms of scalability and performance?

The article does not discuss the scalability and performance limitations of the apparatus in large-scale distributed computing environments.


Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus to facilitate disaggregated computing for a distributed confidential computing environment is disclosed. The apparatus includes one or more processors to facilitate receiving a manifest corresponding to graph nodes representing regions of memory of a remote client machine, the graph nodes corresponding to a command buffer and to associated data structures and kernels of the command buffer used to initialize a hardware accelerator and execute the kernels, and the manifest indicating a destination memory location of each of the graph nodes and dependencies of each of the graph nodes; identifying, based on the manifest, the command buffer and the associated data structures to copy to the host memory; identifying, based on the manifest, the kernels to copy to local memory of the hardware accelerator; and patching addresses in the command buffer copied to the host memory with updated addresses of corresponding locations in the host memory.
