System, method and computer readable medium for offloaded computation of distributed application protocols within a cluster of data processing nodes

A system on a chip (SOC), comprising:

• a management processor core having:
• a management services daemon (MSD) running thereon, wherein a virtual machine is instantiated within the MSD, and wherein an application protocol is executed by the virtual machine;
• and
• a service cache accessible by the management processor core, wherein the application protocol being executed by the MSD requires accessing one or more services running on a node comprising the SOC and a remote node connected to the SOC, and the application protocol being executed by the MSD includes the MSD accessing, from within the service cache, a location of the one or more services and an associated latency cost of using the one or more services at the location, for providing reduced latency of an initial access of the one or more services;
• an application processor core coupled to the management processor core, wherein the application processor core is a different and isolated processor core than the management processor core, wherein, upon receiving notification of a process failure, the management processor core starts another process and uses internal tables to discover local processes, wherein the application processor core has a management interface daemon (MID) running thereon and the MO distinct and separate from the MSD;
• and
• memory having a shared memory segment (SMS) coupled to and accessible by the management processor core and the application processor core for enabling information required for executing the application protocol to be provided from the application processor core to the management processor core and enabling information generated by the application protocol to be provided to the application processor core.
