由于其节能特定的加速度，现场可编程的门阵列（FPGA）在云中已显示出非常有益的。这些加速器一直很难使用，并且在云量表上，管理这些设备的难度相应地缩放。我们应对使用抽象层和称为Galapagos的新硬件堆栈管理大型FPGA加速器簇的挑战。硬件堆栈摘要低级细节，同时提供了用户所需的低级访问量以满足其性能需求的灵活性。
Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have shown to be quite beneficial in the cloud due to their energy-efficient application-specific acceleration. These accelerators have always been difficult to use and at cloud scale, the difficulty of managing these devices scales accordingly. We approach the challenge of managing large FPGA accelerator clusters in the cloud using abstraction layers and a new hardware stack that we call Galapagos. The hardware stack abstracts low-level details while providing flexibility in the amount of low-level access users require to reach their performance needs.
