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: To improve data throughput and data transfer rate, a contiguous block of host memory can be allocated for data transfers between the host system and an integrated circuit device such as a peripheral component. By using a contiguous block of memory that acts as a circular buffer, the memory address field of memory descriptors can be eliminated because the host system only need to inform the data movement engine of the length of each data transfer. The data movement engine can maintain pointers to keep track of the memory address in the host memory to read from and write to. After each data transfer, the relevant pointer can be incremented by a value corresponding to the length indicated in the memory descriptor for the transfer. As such, it is not necessary for the host system to provide the data movement engine with the memory address of each transfer.

Abstract: The following description is directed to a logic repository service. In one example, a method of a logic repository service can include receiving a first request to generate configuration data for configurable hardware using a specification for application logic of the configurable hardware. The method can include generating the configuration data for the configurable hardware. The configuration data can include data for implementing the application logic. The method can include encrypting the configuration data to generate encrypted configuration data. The method can include signing the encrypted configuration data using a private key. The method can include transmitting the signed encrypted configuration data in response to the request.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for preventing or minimizing completion timeout errors on a computer device. An apparatus include a processing logic circuit and a timeout logic. The timeout logic is configured to: generate a timeout event based on a transaction not completed by the processing logic circuit within a timeout period; determine a number of the timeout events generated during a monitoring period; and responsive to determining that the number equals to or exceeds a threshold, reduce the timeout period.

Abstract: A controller is configured to transmit a broadcast write request on at least one bus. The broadcast write request includes an address and a value. A first logic module determines that the broadcast write request is targeting the first logic module. The first logic module stores the value at a first addressed register specified by the register address. The second logic module determines that the broadcast write request is targeting the second logic module. The second logic module stores the value at a second addressed register specified by the register address. The first and second logic modules are connected to the at least one bus.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for programming reconfigurable logic devices such as FPGAs in a multi-tenant server environment. In one example, a computing host includes one or more processors configured to execute a supervisor process and two or more user processes and a single FPGA integrated circuit configured into a plurality of partitions. The partitions include a host logic partition that is accessible only to the supervisor process executing on the computing host, and two or more accelerator partitions. Each of the accelerator partitions is configured to include a virtual debug unit with a logic analyzer that collects logic signals generated by logic within the respective accelerator partition and sends debug data indicating values of the logic signals to one of the user processes. In some examples, the host logic partitions and/or the accelerator partitions can be independently reprogrammed of each other within their respective portions of the single FPGA.

Abstract: A bus controller is configured to transmit a broadcast read request on at least one bus. The broadcast read request includes an address. A first logic module determines that the broadcast read request is targeting the first logic module. The first logic module reads a first value from a first register included in the first logic module. The first register is specified by the address included in the broadcast read request. The first value is transmitted onto the at least one bus. A second logic module determines that the broadcast read request is targeting the second logic module. The second logic module reads a second value from a second register included in the second logic module. The second register is specified by the address included in the broadcast read request. The second value is transmitted onto the at least one bus.
