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:
Devices and methods for performing a cyclic redundancy check are disclosed. For example, a device has a splitter for splitting a data word into a plurality of paths. The device also has a plurality of cyclic redundancy check units. Each of the units is for processing a respective one of the paths. In addition, each of the units includes a first output port for outputting a cyclic redundancy check value for a packet ending within the unit and a second output port for outputting a cyclic redundancy check value for a packet starting or ongoing within the unit.
