Software Application Striping
First Claim
1. A distributed computing platform, comprisinga plurality of interconnected networking switches forming a network between a first and second device, each switch having a memory element and a multi-core processor;
- a first processing core from a first switch of the networking switches and a second processing core from a second switch of the networking switches;
a system memory allocated from at least some of the switches'"'"' memory elements where the system memory is addressable by the first and the second processor cores, and storing a software application; and
wherein executable portions of the software application are striped across the first and the second processing cores according to a secret function secured via a secret key.

Abstract
A distributed computing system comprising networking infrastructure and methods of executing an application on the distributed computing system is presented. Interconnected networking nodes offering available computing resources form a network fabric. The computing resources can be allocated from the networking nodes, including available processing cores or memory elements located on the networking nodes. A software application can be stored in a system memory comprising memory elements allocated from the nodes. The software application can be disaggregated into a plurality of executable portions that are striped across the allocated processing cores by assigning each core a portion to execute. When the cores are authenticated with respect to their portions, the cores are allowed to execute the portions by accessing the system memory over the fabric. While executing the software application, the networking nodes having the allocated cores concurrently forward packets through the fabric.
