A device including a management logic unit and a user logic unit, where the management logic unit comprises a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) module, and the PCIe module comprises a first physical functional unit and a second physical functional unit. The first physical functional unit is configured to receive a user logic loading request initiated by the second physical functional unit, where the user logic loading request carries a user logic identifier; obtain a user logic file based on the user logic identifier; and burn the user logic file into the user logic unit via a PCIe configuration channel. The present disclosure solves the technical problem that an existing FPGA cannot be deployed in the cloud due to the need for connecting to a JTAG cable when being remotely configured or debugged.

FPGA device and cloud system based on FPGA device

Embodiments of the present invention provide resource managing methods and systems. The method comprises: receiving a request to allocate resources sent from host code of an application program located on a first device; in accordance with the allocation request and a maintained mapping logic mapping available hardware resources of at least one graphics processing unit (GPU) of the first device to a unified virtual GPU resource, allocating required resources for a device code of the application program from the available hardware resources of at least one GPU of the first device; and forwarding information of the allocated resource back to the host code. The present invention can efficiently utilize GPU resources and reduce implementation costs.
