Building a High Performance, Secure, Reliable and Compliant Heterogeneous Computing Capability Through the Integration of Core and Edge Processing

摘要

Heterogeneous computing and heterogeneous clouds refer to emerging architectures to build a variety ofprocessors including CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and more specialized processing elements into an interconnected meshenvironment to provide an ideal processing capability for a variety of complex tasks and data types. The conceptexpands to cover edge computing enabling preprocessing, data selection, and data conditioning/labeling to enhance theoverall outcome. The combination of processors will be augmented by a variety of interconnect and memoryarchitectures and configurations leading to customizable settings and flows meeting the changing needs of data andcustomers. This variety of environments, tasks, and interconnects creates a new landscape that greatly varies from ourstandard computing infrastructure therefore reducing our expertise in identifying threats based on network, memory, andprocessing based on trends resulting in an unknown trust level. The goal is to build and operate a heterogeneous platformthat provides dynamic resource assignments and capability elasticity to meet standard and surge needs in an environmentthat provides data security, isolation and attribution. Access control also becomes an essential element of the newenvironment.
