Abstract
The invention is an apparatus for dynamic provisioning available as a multi-mode device that can be dynamically configured for balancing between storage performance and hardware acceleration resources on reconfigurable hardware such as an FPGA. An embodiment of the invention provides a cluster of these multi-mode devices that form a group of resilient Storage and Acceleration elements without requiring a dedicated standby storage spare. Yet another embodiment of the invention provides an interconnection network attached cluster configured to dynamically provision full acceleration and storage resources to meet an application's needs and end-of-life requirements of an SSD.
