  • Patent number: 12112204
    Abstract: A system comprising an accelerator circuit comprising an accelerator function unit to implement a first function, and one or more device feature header (DFH) circuits to provide attributes associated with the accelerator function unit, and a processor to retrieve the attributes of the accelerator function unit by traversing a device feature list (DFL) referencing the one or more DFH circuits, execute, based on the attributes, an application encoding the first function to cause the accelerator function unit to perform the first function.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10541687
    Abstract: A device includes a reconfigurable circuit and reconfiguration logic. The reconfiguration logic is to: receive, via a policy interface, a user policy and an image policy; receive a first reconfiguration image via a first configuration interface of a plurality of configuration interfaces; validate the first configuration interface based on the user policy; validate the first reconfiguration image based on the image policy; and in response to a determination that the first configuration interface and the first reconfiguration image are both valid, reconfigure the reconfigurable circuit using the first reconfiguration image.

  • Publication number: 20180331900
    Abstract: An embodiment of a device manager apparatus may include a request processor to process a request for a reconfiguration of a reconfigurable device, a configuration controller communicatively coupled to the request processor to reconfigure the reconfigurable device based on the request, and a pseudo-device manager communicatively coupled to the request processor to create a pseudo device based on the request which corresponds to a functionality of the reconfiguration.
