Abstract: The following description is directed to a configurable logic platform. In one example, a configurable logic platform includes host logic and a reconfigurable logic region. The reconfigurable logic region can include logic blocks that are configurable to implement application logic. The host logic can be used for encapsulating the reconfigurable logic region. The host logic can include a host interface for communicating with a processor. The host logic can include a management function accessible via the host interface. The management function can be adapted to cause the reconfigurable logic region to be configured with the application logic in response to an authorized request from the host interface. The host logic can include a data path function accessible via the host interface. The data path function can include a layer for formatting data transfers between the host interface and the application logic.

Abstract: A plurality of system on chips (SoCs) in a server computer can be coupled to a plurality of memory agents (MAs) via respective Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) interfaces. Each of the plurality of MAs can include one or more memory controllers to communicate with a memory coupled to the respective MA, and globally addressable by each of the SoCs. Each of the plurality of SoCs can access the memory coupled to any of the MAs in uniform number of hops using the respective SerDes interfaces. Different types of memories, e.g., volatile memory, persistent memory, can be supported.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for programming reconfigurable logic devices such as FPGAs in a multi-tenant server environment. In one example, a computing host includes one or more processors configured to execute a supervisor process and two or more user processes and a single FPGA integrated circuit configured into a plurality of partitions. The partitions include a host logic partition that is accessible only to the supervisor process executing on the computing host, and two or more accelerator partitions. Each of the accelerator partitions is configured to include a virtual debug unit with a logic analyzer that collects logic signals generated by logic within the respective accelerator partition and sends debug data indicating values of the logic signals to one of the user processes. In some examples, the host logic partitions and/or the accelerator partitions can be independently reprogrammed of each other within their respective portions of the single FPGA.

Abstract: The following description is directed to a logic repository service. In one example, a method of a logic repository service can include receiving a first request to generate configuration data for configurable hardware using a specification for application logic of the configurable hardware. The method can include generating the configuration data for the configurable hardware. The configuration data can include data for implementing the application logic. The method can include encrypting the configuration data to generate encrypted configuration data. The method can include signing the encrypted configuration data using a private key. The method can include transmitting the signed encrypted configuration data in response to the request.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for migrating data from a source memory range to a destination memory while data is being written into the source memory range. An apparatus includes a control logic configured to receive a request for data migration and initiate the data migration using a direct memory access (DMA) controller, while the source memory range continues to accept write operations. The apparatus also includes a tracking logic coupled to the control logic and configured to track write operations performed to the source memory range while data is being copied from the source memory range to the destination memory. The control logic is further configured to initiate copying data associated with the tracked write operations to the destination memory.

Abstract: A system that provides virtualized computing resources to clients or subscribers may include an enhanced PCIe endpoint device on which an emulation processor emulates PCIe compliant hardware devices in software. In response to receiving a transaction layer packet that includes a transaction directed to an emulated device, the endpoint device may process the transaction, which may include emulating the target emulated device. The endpoint device may include multiple PCIe controllers and may expose multiple PCIe endpoints to a host computing system. For example, each PCIe controller may be physically coupled to one of multiple host processor sockets or host server SOCs on the host computing system, each of which exposes its own root complex. Traffic received by the PCIe controllers may be merged on the endpoint device for subsequent processing. Traffic originating at one host processor socket may be steered to the PCIe controller to which it is directly attached.

Abstract: Techniques are described for logging communication traffic associated with one or more devices. For example, a system bus or other interface to a device may be monitored for traffic data elements. The traffic data elements may include, for example, transaction layer packets (TLPs) for communication across a PCI Express interface, or Ethernet packets for communication over a network. The traffic data elements can be processed by a classifier module and accordingly routed to one of a plurality of circular buffers. The circular buffers may maintain state (e.g., a head pointer and a tail pointer) that identify traffic data elements that are pending and those that are completed. Thus, the circular buffers can be inspected (such as after a crash) to determine recent activity.

Abstract: An electronics adapter, system, and methods for using multiple interface ports to execute a single function are disclosed herein. The electronics adapter may include multiple interface ports, each having a transmission capacity for data transmitted via each interface port. Processing logic may be coupled to the two or more interface ports, to execute processes associated with the multiple interface ports utilizing a bandwidth. The electronics adapter may further include a controller to configure and merge the data from the multiple interface ports based at least in part on the transmission capacities for the multiple interface ports to support the bandwidth of the processes.
