Abstract
Embodiments are generally directed apparatuses, methods, techniques and so forth to select two or more processing units of the plurality of processing units to process a workload, and configure a circuit switch to link the two or more processing units to process the workload, the two or more processing units each linked to each other via paths of communication and the circuit switch.
Claims27
An apparatus, comprising:
- a switch;
- and
- a switching controller to:
- establish a first group of two or more workload processing units to process one or more workloads to be received through the switch;
- establish a second group of at least one other workload processing unit to process one or more workloads to be received through the switch;
- configure the switch to communicatively isolate the first group from the second group based on a grouped switch configuration;
- remove a workload processing unit from the first group to establish a third group to process one or more workloads to be received through the switch;
- and
- configure the switch to communicatively isolate the third group from the second group based on the grouped switch configuration.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising a plurality of instructions, that when executed, enable processing circuitry to:
- establish a first group of two or more workload processing units to process one or more workloads to be received through a switch;
- establish a second group of at least one other workload processing unit to process one or more workloads to be received through the switch;
- configure the switch to communicatively isolate the first group from the second group based on a grouped switch configuration;
- remove a workload processing unit from the first group to establish a third group to process one or more workloads to be received through the switch;
- and
- configure the switch to communicatively isolate the third group from the second group based on the grouped switch configuration.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- establishing a first group of two or more workload processing units to process one or more workloads to be received through a switch;
- establishing a second group of at least one other workload processing unit to process one or more workloads to be received through the switch;
- configuring the switch to communicatively isolate the first group from the second group based on a grouped switch configuration;
- removing a workload processing unit from the first group to establish a third group to process one or more workloads to be received through the switch;
- and
- configuring the switch to communicatively isolate the third group from the second group based on the grouped switch configuration.
