Nvidia patents system to move data center tasks using hardware labels
Nvidia describes a method for moving computer tasks between different groups of hardware in a data center. The system creates unique labels for each hardware group based on their physical layout and component types to check if they are compatible before moving the work.
In the filing’s own words
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to determine that a first group including first hardware components is compatible with a second group including second hardware components based at least on a first label associated with the first group and a second label associated with the second group, and cause at least one workload to be migrated from the first group to the second group based at least on determining the first and second groups are compatible with one another.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method comprising: encoding at least a portion of a first topology of first hardware components of a first group into at least one first encoded topology; creating a first label associated with the first group using the at least one first encoded topology and identifications of the first hardware components; encoding at least a portion of a second topology of second hardware components of a second group into at least one second encoded topology; creating a second label associated with the second group using the at least one second encoded topology and identifications of the second hardware components; determining the first label matches the second label; and causing at least one workload to be migrated from the first group to the second group based at least on having determined that the first label matches the second label.
