Abstract
Technologies for dynamically allocating acceleration units of a network device include a network device configured to determine a present compute usage value associated with a workload of the virtual machine, determine whether to accelerate the virtual machine as a function of the present compute usage and a compute capability usage limit, and select, in response to a determination to accelerate the virtual machine, an acceleration unit from one or more acceleration units, as a function of a type of the workload. Additionally, the network device is configured to allocate the identified acceleration unit. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
