Abstract
An accelerator manager monitors one or more requests for accelerators from one or more users, and deploys one or more accelerators to one or more programmable devices based on the one or more requests from the one or more users. In a first embodiment, the accelerator manager deploys an accelerator that satisfies multiple user requests. The multiple user requests can be multiple requests from one user, or could be multiple requests from multiple users. In a second embodiment, the accelerator manager compiles historical data from the monitored requests, identifies one or more accelerators that are requested following the request for a first accelerator, and deploys the one or more accelerators after the first accelerator is requested and before they are requested.
