Abstract:
Technologies for adaptive platform resource management include a compute node to manage a processor core mapping scheme between virtual machines (VMs) and a virtual switch of the compute node via a set of virtual ports. The virtual switch is also coupled to a network interface controller (NIC) of the compute node via another set of virtual ports. Each of the VMs is configured to either provide ingress or egress to the NIC or provide ingress/egress across the VMs, via the virtual ports. The virtual ports for providing ingress or egress to the NIC are pinned to a same processor core of a processor of the compute node, and each of the virtual ports for providing ingress and/or egress across the VMs are pinned to a respective processor core of the processor such that data is transferred across VMs by coupled virtual ports that are pinned to the same processor core.
Abstract:
Technologies for identifying service functions that may be performed in parallel in a service function chain include a computing device for running one or more virtual machines for each of a plurality of service functions based on a preferred service function chain being selected. To identify which service functions may be performed in parallel, the computing device may determine which service functions are not required to be performed on a critical path of the service function chain and/or which service functions are not required to be performed in real-time. Additionally, selecting the preferred service function chain may be based on selection criteria.
