Abstract
An apparatus can include a control board operatively coupled to a modular compute boards and to a resource boards by (1) a first connection associated with control information and not data, and (2) a second connection associated with data and not control information. The control board can determine a computation load and a physical resource requirement for a time period. The control board can send, to the modular compute board and via the first connection, a signal indicating an allocation of that modular compute board during the time period. The control board can send, from the control board to the resource board, a signal indicating an allocation of that resource board to the modular compute board such that that resource board allocates at least a portion of its resources during the time period based on at least one of the computation load or the physical resource requirement.
