    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for programming reconfigurable logic devices such as FPGAs in a networked server environment. In one example, a system hosting a network service providing field programmable gate array (FPGA) services includes a network service provider configured to receive a request to implement application logic in a plurality of FPGAs, allocate a computing instance comprising the FPGAs in responses to receiving the request, produce configuration information for programming the FPGAs, and send the configuration information to an allocated computing instance. The system further includes a computing host that is allocated by the network service provider as a computing instance which includes memory, processors configured to execute computer-executable instructions stored in the memory, and the programmed FPGAs.

    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: 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 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.
