    Abstract: Technologies for accelerated orchestration and attestation include multiple edge devices. An edge appliance device performs an attestation process with each of its components to generate component certificates. The edge appliance device generates an appliance certificate that is indicative of the component certificates and a current utilization of the edge appliance device and provides the appliance certificate to a relying party. The relying party may be an edge orchestrator device. The edge orchestrator device receives a workload scheduling request with a service level agreement requirement. The edge orchestrator device verifies the appliance certificate and determines whether the service level agreement requirement is satisfied based on the appliance certificate. If satisfied, the workload is scheduled to the edge appliance device. Attestation and generation of the appliance certificate by the edge appliance device may be performed by an accelerator of the edge appliance device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Technologies for migrating data between edge accelerators hosted on different edge locations include a device hosted on a present edge location. The device includes one or more processors to: receive a workload from a requesting device, determine one or more accelerator devices hosted on the present edge location to perform the workload, and transmit the workload to the one or more accelerator devices to process the workload. The one or more processor is further to determine whether to perform data migration from the one or more accelerator devices to one or more different edge accelerator devices hosted on a different edge location, and send, in response to a determination to perform the data migration, a request to the one or more accelerator devices on the present edge location for transformed workload data to be processed by the one or more different edge accelerator devices.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods that include cache operation storage circuitry that selectively enables/disables the Cache Line Flush (CLFLUSH) operation. The cache operation storage circuitry may also selectively replace the CLFLUSH operation with one or more replacement operations that provide similar functionality but beneficially and advantageously prevent an attacker from placing processor cache circuitry in a known state during a timing-based, side channel attack such as Spectre or Meltdown. The cache operation storage circuitry includes model specific registers (MSRs) that contain information used to determine whether to enable/disable CLFLUSH functionality. The cache operation storage circuitry may include model specific registers (MSRs) that contain information used to select appropriate replacement operations such as Cache Line Demote (CLDEMOTE) and/or Cache Line Write Back (CLWB) to selectively replace CLFLUSH operations.
