1. A method for locally restoring a role at an acceleration component, the method comprising: detecting an error in a role at the acceleration component by comparing actual behavior of the role to defined legitimate behavior for the role, the acceleration component included in a group of interoperating acceleration components in a hardware acceleration plane, roles at each acceleration component in the group of interoperating acceleration components linked together to compose a graph that provides service acceleration for a service; pausing input to the role; locally sending a reset command to the role within the acceleration component; receiving an acknowledgment from the role, the acknowledgement indicating that the role was successfully restarted; and enabling input to the role in response to receiving the acknowledgment.
