Methods and apparatus to schedule service requests in a network computing system using hardware queue managers

An apparatus to schedule service requests in a network computing system, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one memory;
• machine readable instructions;
• processor circuitry to at least instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to:
• parse the service requests based on service parameters in the service requests;
• schedule the service requests in a queue based on the service parameters;
• and
• send ones of the service requests from the queue to rack-level hardware queue manager circuitry in a physical rack, the ones of the service requests corresponding to functions as a service provided by resources in the physical rack.

An apparatus in a physical rack to schedule service requests in a network computing system, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one memory;
• machine readable instructions;
• processor circuitry to at least instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to:
• obtain service requests from a queue based on service parameters in the service requests;
• and
• send ones of the service requests from the queue to drawer-level hardware queue manager circuitry in a drawer of the physical rack, the drawer including a resource to provide a function as a service specified in one of the service requests.
