1. A system, comprising:
- a computing device;
a plurality of processor units in data communication with the computing device over a network; and
a controller executable by the computing device, wherein the controller causes the computing device to at least;
direct a particular processor unit of the plurality of processor units to test an application via a directive transmitted over the network, the directive including an identifier unique to the particular processor unit and an address associated with a location of the application; and
transmit peripheral device data over the network to the processor unit during execution of the application, the peripheral device data being used by the application, the processor unit not including a peripheral device capable of generating the peripheral device data, and the peripheral device data representing data generated by the peripheral device.

Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for systems and methods to provide to a processor unit over a network. The processor unit may be used for testing applications, debugging code, and/or any other job that may need processing. The processor unit does not include a particular peripheral device needed by an application being executed by the processor unit. Peripheral device data associated with the absent peripheral device may be sent to the processor unit by a computing device over a network. The processor unit may be monitored and any data generated may be reported.

15. A method, comprising:
-
sending, by at least one computing device, an application to a processor unit over a network; directing, by the at least one computing device, the processor unit to execute the application via a directive transmitted over the network, and the directive including an identifier associated with the processor unit; and sending, by the at least one computing device, peripheral device data to the application over the network being executed by the processor unit, wherein a peripheral device associated with the peripheral device data is absent from the processor unit, the peripheral device data represents data generated by the peripheral device, and the peripheral device data is used by the application executed by the processor unit. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
