Abstract
A system on a chip (SoC) can be configured to operate in one of a plurality of modes. In a first mode, the SoC can be operated as a network compute subsystem to provide networking services only. In a second mode, the SoC can be operated as a server compute subsystem to provide compute services only. In a third mode, the SoC can be operated as a network compute subsystem and the server compute subsystem to provide both networking and compute services concurrently.
Claims20
A system on a chip (SoC) comprising:
- a network compute subsystem for managing network traffic for a host system;
- and
- a server compute subsystem for providing compute services,
- wherein the SoC is configured to operate in one of a plurality of modes, and wherein
- in a first mode, the SoC is configured to operate the network compute subsystem,
- in a second mode, the SoC is configured to operate the server compute subsystem, and
- in a third mode, the SoC is configured to operate the network compute subsystem and the server compute subsystem concurrently.
