Abstract: Methods, apparatus and systems for adaptive fabric allocation for local and remote emerging memories-based prediction schemes. In conjunction with performing memory transfers between a compute host and memory device connected via one or more interconnect segments, memory read and write traffic is monitored for at least one interconnect segment having reconfigurable upstream lanes and downstream lanes. Predictions of expected read and write bandwidths for the at least one interconnect segment are then made. Based on the expected read and write bandwidths, the upstream lanes and downstream lanes are dynamically reconfigured. The interconnect segments include interconnect links such as Compute Exchange Link (CXL) flex buses and memory channels for local memory implementations, and fabric links for remote memory implementations. For local memory, management messages may be used to provide telemetry information containing the expected read and write bandwidths. For remote memory, telemetry information is provided to a fabric management component that is used to dynamically reconfigure one or more fabric links.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a fabric controller of a first computing node. The fabric controller is to receive, from a second computing node via a network fabric that couples the first computing node to the second computing node, a request to execute a kernel on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) of the first computing node; instruct the FPGA to execute the kernel; and send a result of the execution of the kernel to the second computing node via the network fabric.

Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes logic circuitry embedded in at least one of a memory controller, network interface and peripheral control hub to process a function as a service (FaaS) function call embedded in a request. The request is formatted according to a protocol. The protocol allows a remote computing system to access a memory that is coupled to the memory controller without invoking processing cores of a local computing system that the memory controller is a component of.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus couples to a host processor over a Compute Express Link (CXL)-based link. The apparatus includes a transaction queue to queue memory transactions to be completed in an addressable memory coupled to the apparatus, a transaction cache, conflict detection circuitry to determine whether a conflict exists between memory transactions, and transaction execution circuitry. The transaction execution circuitry may access a transaction from the transaction queue, the transaction to implement one or more memory operations in the memory, store data from the memory to be accessed by the transaction operations in the transaction cache, execute operations of the transaction, including modifying data from the memory location stored in the transaction cache, and based on completion of the transaction, cause the modified data from the transaction cache to be stored in the memory.
