Claims15
A method for managing a plurality of cartridges that are electrically coupled together, comprising:
- obtaining general purpose command instructions from a chassis for a group of the cartridges, wherein the chassis houses the cartridges and wherein the cartridges include a processing resource and memory resources to operate an application;
- sending the general purpose command instructions to the group of cartridges;
- and
- providing, through the chassis, access to shared resources among groups of the cartridges.
An apparatus for managing a plurality of cartridges that are electrically coupled together, comprising:
- a chassis with positions to physically connect individual cartridges to the chassis, wherein at least some of the individual cartridges include a system on a chip (SoC) to operate an individual unique application;
- and
- the chassis comprising a management system in communication with a group of the positions.
A system for managing cartridges that are electrically coupled together, comprising:
- management subsystems, wherein each management subsystem sends individualized general purpose command instructions to a different group of the cartridges connected to a chassis, wherein the cartridges include processing resources and memory resources to operate an application and wherein the management subsystems allocate shared resources among different groups of cartridges.
