Abstract: A resource manager of a virtualized computing service indicates to a client that FPGA-enabled compute instances are supported at the service. From a set of virtualization hosts of the service, a particular host from which an FPGA is accessible is selected for the client based on an indication of computation objectives of the client. Configuration operations are performed to prepare the host for the application, and an FPGA-enabled compute instance is launched at the host for the client.

Abstract: The following description is directed to a configurable logic platform. In one example, a configurable logic platform includes host logic and a reconfigurable logic region. The reconfigurable logic region can include logic blocks that are configurable to implement application logic. The host logic can be used for encapsulating the reconfigurable logic region. The host logic can include a host interface for communicating with a processor. The host logic can include a management function accessible via the host interface. The management function can be adapted to cause the reconfigurable logic region to be configured with the application logic in response to an authorized request from the host interface. The host logic can include a data path function accessible via the host interface. The data path function can include a layer for formatting data transfers between the host interface and the application logic.

Abstract: A multi-tenant environment is described with configurable hardware logic (e.g., a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)) positioned on a host server computer. For communicating with the configurable hardware logic, an intermediate host integrated circuit (IC) is positioned between the configurable hardware logic and virtual machines executing on the host server computer. The host IC can include management functionality and mapping functionality to map requests between the configurable hardware logic and the virtual machines. Shared peripherals can be located either on the host IC or the configurable hardware logic. The host IC can apportion resources amongst the different configurable hardware logics to ensure that no one customer can over consume resources.
