Abstract
A system includes an RDU coupled to a local interconnect and configured to receive a workload for execution from a host via a system interconnect coupled to the local interconnect, and an RDRT architecture executing on the host and configured to record, in a memory of the host, an RDU state of the RDU, and, when the RDU state is FAULTED, prevent further processing associated with the execution of the workload using the RDU.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a reconfigurable dataflow unit (RDU) coupled to a local interconnect and configured to receive a workload for execution from a host via a system interconnect coupled to the local interconnect;
- and
- a reconfigurable dataflow runtime (RDRT) architecture executing on the host and configured to process the execution of the workload using the RDU, the RDRT architecture configured to:
- record, in a memory of the host, an RDU state of the RDU;
- and
- when the RDU state is FAULTED, prevent further processing associated with the execution of the workload using the RDU.
A method comprising:
- recording, in a memory of a host, an RDU state of a reconfigurable dataflow unit (RDU) coupled to a local interconnect and configured to receive a workload for execution from the host via a system interconnect coupled to the local interconnect;
- detecting, by a reconfigurable dataflow runtime (RDRT) architecture executing on the host and configured to process the execution of the workload using the RDU, that the RDU state is FAULTED;
- and
- preventing further processing associated with the execution of the workload using the RDU.
Tangible computer-readable media comprising instructions executable by a computer system to:
- record, in a memory of a host, an RDU state of a reconfigurable dataflow unit (RDU) coupled to a local interconnect and configured to receive a workload for execution from the host via a system interconnect coupled to the local interconnect;
- detect, by a reconfigurable dataflow runtime (RDRT) architecture executing on the host and configured to process the execution of the workload using the RDU, that the RDU state is FAULTED;
- and
- prevent further processing associated with the execution of the workload using the RDU.
