Advanced Micro Devices had four patents in cloud during Q4 2023. AMD’s patents from Q4 2023 focus on efficiently scheduling tasks to multiple endpoint devices and a SoC with untrusted islands for hosting roles in a data center environment. The system utilizes a virtualization layer to create guest VMs with different topologies than the physical hardware, allowing for improved task scheduling based on latency information. The SoC includes a secure shell encapsulating untrusted islands with a secure API for accessing hardware resources, ensuring confidentiality and security in a cloud computing environment.

Application: Multi-gpu device pcie topology retrieval in guest vm (Patent ID: US20230401082A1)
The patent filed by Advanced Micro Devices Inc. describes a system and method for efficiently scheduling tasks to multiple endpoint devices in a computing system with a physical hardware topology that includes multiple endpoint devices and general-purpose CPUs. A virtualization layer is added between the hardware and the operating system to create a guest VM with a different topology. The processor of an endpoint device running the guest VM accesses latency information based on the physical hardware topology to schedule tasks between endpoint devices.
The processor described in the patent executes a guest VM with a specific hardware topology, generates requests for latency information based on a different hardware topology, and schedules tasks on endpoint devices based on the received latency information. The method involves sending requests to a topology manager, determining latency information based on physical placement of components, and creating a table storing this information. This innovative approach allows for efficient task scheduling and data transfer between endpoint devices based on the physical hardware topology rather than the guest VM topology, enhancing overall system performance and reliability.
