Virtualisation of FPGA-Resources for Concurrent User Designs Employing Partial Dynamic Reconfiguration
Abstract
Reconfigurable hardware in a cloud environment is a power efficient way to increase the processing power of future data centers beyond today\'s maximum. This work enhances an existing framework to support concurrent users on a virtualized reconfigurable FPGA resource. The FPGAs are used to provide a flexible, fast and very efficient platform for the user who has access through a simple cloud based interface. A fast partial reconfiguration is achieved through the ICAP combined with a PCIe connection and a combination of custom and TCL scripts to control the tool flow. This allows for a reconfiguration of a user space on a FPGA in a few milliseconds while providing a simple single-action interface to the user- doc-type:StudyThesis
