Abstract: Various techniques are provided to implement context switching systems and methods. In one example, a system includes a plurality of programmable logic devices (PLDs) each configured to be in an active state or an inactive state. At most one of the plurality of PLDs is in the active state to provide PLD functionality. The system further includes an instance controller configured to communicate with each of the plurality of PLDs and control context switch aspects to set each of the plurality of PLDs to the active state or the inactive state. Related methods and devices are provided.

Abstract: Various techniques are provided to implement fast boot for programmable logic devices (PLDs). In one example, a method includes performing a read operation on a non-volatile memory to obtain a first value. The method further includes comparing the value to a predetermined value to obtain a comparison result. The method further includes determining whether a boot image stored on the non-volatile memory is to be read based at least on the first comparison result. The method further includes performing, based on the determining, a read operation on the boot image to obtain data associated with booting of a device. The method further includes booting the device based at least on the data. Related systems and devices are provided.
