Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods and systems directed to providing quality of service to cluster of accelerators. The system can include a root connector; an interconnect switch communicatively coupled to the root connector over a plurality of lanes comprising a first set of lanes and a second set of lanes, wherein the first set of lanes are associated with a first virtual communication channel and a second set of lanes are associated with a second virtual communication channel; a first accelerator communicatively coupled to the interconnect switch and associated with a first traffic class identifier corresponding to first communication traffic communicated over the first set of lanes; and a plurality of accelerators communicatively coupled to the interconnect switch and associated with a second traffic class identifier that corresponds to second communication traffic having lower priority than the first communication traffic and that is communicated over the second set of lanes.
