ACCELERATOR MANAGEMENT DEVICE, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, ACCELERATOR MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND ACCELERATOR MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18026262 titled 'ACCELERATOR MANAGEMENT DEVICE, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, ACCELERATOR MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND ACCELERATOR MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a management device for an accelerator management mechanism. This device includes a workload management unit and an accelerator management unit.

  • The workload management unit manages information that links each workload with a specific accelerator on a calculation node.
  • The accelerator management unit receives inquiries about workloads from a user terminal.
  • It uses the correspondence information to determine which accelerator on a calculation node can handle the workload.
  • The unit then responds to the user terminal with the information of the appropriate accelerator.
  • This offloads the workload from the user terminal to the designated accelerator on the calculation node.


Original Abstract Submitted

A management device of an accelerator management mechanism includes a workload management unit that manages correspondence information that associates each workload with an accelerator of a calculation node that may support the workload, and an accelerator management unit that receives an inquiry about a workload from a user terminal, acquires information of an accelerator of a calculation node that may support the workload of the inquiry with reference to the correspondence information, responds to the user terminal with the acquired information, and thereby offloads the workload of the inquiry from the user terminal to the accelerator of the calculation node for which the response has been made.
