A network-based apparatus includes at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the network-based apparatus to: select at least a first bitstream from a central repository based on an indicator associated with a probability of concurrent, simultaneous or future execution of the first bitstream and a second bitstream at a network node, each of the first bitstream and the second bitstream including programming information for a device at the network node, the indicator being based on an embedding matrix mapping at least a subset of bitstreams in the central repository to an N-dimensional vector of real numbers; and output the first bitstream to the network node for storage and execution upon request.

Management and implementation of applications in cloud-based FPGAS

A network-based apparatus includes at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the network apparatus to configure a cache manager according to a cache management policy identified in a request from a network orchestrator, the cache manager managing a cache of a multi-level cache hierarchy, the cache storing bitstreams for configuring a programmable device.

Reconfigurable cache hierarchy framework for the storage of FPGA bitstreams

A method for allocating resources of a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), the method comprising: deterministically estimating a maximum latency for executing a network service at the FPGA; determining that the maximum latency is less than a threshold latency value associated with the network service; outputting an acknowledgement indicating that the maximum latency is less than or equal to the threshold latency value; receiving confirmation that the FPGA has been selected to execute the network service within a threshold time period; and deterministically scheduling the resources of the FPGA for executing the network service in response to receiving the confirmation within the threshold time period.
