One example provides a reconfigurable computing fabric to manage machine learning (ML) processing including a configurable interconnect structure and a number programmable logic blocks each having a configurable set of operations. For each of a number of fabric configurations of the computing fabric, each programmable logic block has a corresponding set of operations and the interconnect structure has a corresponding data path structure to interconnect the programmable logic blocks with one another and with inputs and outputs of the computing fabric. The programmable logic blocks include an input/output block having a set of operations including to provide virtual interfaces to receive external session requests for ML processing from request sources, and an elastic AI/ML processing block having a set of operations including to configure a number of AI/ML engines with a session implementation for each external session request and each of a number of event-driven internal session requests.
