1. A method comprising:
in a user interface, receiving user instructions to form a compute unit to include at least a selected disaggregated computing component and at least a selected converged computing element;
wherein the selected disaggregated computing component is added to the compute unit with a granularity of an individual computing component from a pool of disaggregated computing components arbitrarily and individually segregable into logical groupings within a communication fabric; and
wherein the selected converged computing element is added to the compute unit with a granularity having a fixed set of computing components from a pool of converged computing elements comprising sets of computing components having fixed relationships to associated processors.
