    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer platforms and architectures employing many-to-many and many-to-one peripheral switches. The methods and apparatus may be implemented on computer platforms having multiple nodes, such as those employing a Non-uniform Memory Access (NUMA) architecture, wherein each node comprises a plurality of components including a processor having at least one level of memory cache and being operatively coupled to system memory and operatively coupled to a many-to-many peripheral switch that includes a plurality of downstream ports to which NICs and/or peripheral expansion slots are operatively coupled, or a many-to-one switch that enables a peripheral device to be shared by multiple nodes. During operation, packets are received at the NICs and DMA memory writes are initiated using memory write transactions identifying a destination memory address. The many-to-many and many-to-one peripheral switches forwards the transaction packets internally within the switch based on the destination address such that the packets are forwarded to a node via which the memory address can be accessed. The platform architectures may also be configured to support migration operations in response to failure or replacement of a node.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for implementing in Network Interface Controller (NIC) flow switching. Switching operations are effected via hardware-based forwarding mechanisms in apparatus such as NICs in a manner that does not employ use of computer system processor resources and is transparent to operating systems hosted by such computer systems. The forwarding mechanisms are configured to move or copy Media Access Control (MAC) frame data between receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) queues associated with different NIC ports that may be on the same NIC or separate NICs. The hardware-based switching operations effect forwarding of MAC frames between NIC ports using memory operations, thus reducing external network traffic, internal interconnect traffic, and processor workload associated with packet processing.

    Abstract: Technologies for providing efficient sharing of encrypted data in a disaggregated architecture include a sled. The sled includes a set of memory devices and a controller connected to the set of memory devices. The memory controller is to receive, from a first application executed by a compute sled, a data access request to share a data set between the first application and a second application. The data set is encrypted in one or more of the memory devices. Additionally, the controller is to determine, in response to the data access request, a key identifier that uniquely identifies a key that is usable to perform cryptographic operations on the data set. Further, the controller is to send, to an encryption key manager, a request to provide the key corresponding to the key identifier to be used by the second application to decrypt the data set and send, to the second application, a handle associated with an address in the set of memory devices where the data set is located.

    Abstract: Technologies for buffering received network packet data include a compute device with a network interface controller (NIC) configured to determine a packet size of a network packet received by the NIC and identify a preferred buffer size between a small buffer and a large buffer. The NIC is further configured to select, from the descriptor, a buffer pointer based on the preferred buffer size, wherein the buffer pointer comprises one of a small buffer pointer corresponding to a first physical address in memory allocated to the small buffer or a large buffer pointer corresponding to a second physical address in memory allocated to the large buffer. Additionally, the NIC is configured to store at least a portion of the network packet in the memory based on the selected buffer pointer. Other embodiments are described herein.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, software, and system architectures for supporting virtualized system migrations and scaling. Under aspects of a method, data is automatically collected and aggregated at multiple levels by a plurality of agents for each of multiple data centers. The data includes data relating to virtual machine utilization, data relating to electrical utilization costs, data relating to data center utilization, and data relating to triggers events. The data is processed to determine whether to migrate virtual servers from a first data center to a second data center. The software architecture includes a plurality of modules including a controller, data center profile, transition triggers, power cost profile, and virtual machine package module. The agents are implemented in an agent hierarchy and configured to collect data themselves and/or aggregate data from other agents and provide an API to facilitate access to collected data and agent services.
