Abstract:
Embodiments are provided herein for efficient component communication and resource optimization in a disaggregated computing system. A first set of computing elements are used as in line accelerators and a second set of the computing elements are used as block accelerators within the disaggregated computing system. A switching operation is dynamically performed between the first set of computing elements and the second set of computing elements to perform a workload by rewiring one of a plurality of links associated with respective ones of the first set of computing elements and the second set of computing elements.
