    Abstract: An example hardware accelerator for a computer system includes a programmable device and further includes kernel logic configured in a programmable fabric of the programmable device, and an intellectual property (IP) checker circuit in the kernel logic. The IP checker circuit is configured to obtain a device identifier (ID) of the programmable device and a signed whitelist, the signed whitelist including a list of device IDs and a signature, verify the signature of the signed whitelist, compare the device ID against the list of device IDs, and selectively assert or deassert an enable of the kernel logic in response to presence or absence, respectively, of the device ID in the list of device IDs and verification of the signature.

    Abstract: Hierarchical partial reconfiguration for integrated circuits includes converting, using computer hardware, a first partial reconfiguration module of a circuit design into a first partial reconfiguration container, wherein the circuit design is placed and routed, loading, using the computer hardware, a first netlist into the first partial reconfiguration container, wherein the first netlist includes a first plurality of partial reconfiguration modules that are initially empty, and including, using the computer hardware, a further netlist within each of the first plurality of partial reconfiguration modules. Using the computer hardware, the first partial reconfiguration container is implemented with the first plurality of partial reconfiguration modules being implemented within the first partial reconfiguration container.

    Abstract: Bootstrapping a programmable integrated circuit (IC) based network interface card (NIC) can include implementing, within the programmable IC, a first circuitry by loading a first stage configuration bitstream, wherein the first circuitry includes a bus endpoint configured to communicate with a host computer via a communication bus, a platform processor, and a first bootloader. The platform processor, executing the first bootloader, loads a first firmware within the programmable IC. A second circuitry is implemented within the programmable IC by the platform processor executing the first firmware to load a second stage configuration bitstream. The second circuitry includes a NIC controller. The platform processor, executing the first firmware, loads a second firmware within the programmable IC. The second firmware is executable to configure the second circuitry.
