Unified management framework for mediating access to a reconfigurable processor system

A system comprising:

• a reconfigurable processor configured to execute a dataflow graph;
• an entity that provisions and deprovisions the dataflow graph on the reconfigurable processor and that controls execution of the dataflow graph on the reconfigurable processor;
• and
• a unified management framework for mediating access to the entity and to the reconfigurable processor, comprising:
• a configuration tool that controls access to the entity for provisioning and deprovisioning of the dataflow graph on the reconfigurable processor,
• an orchestration tool that controls access to the entity for controlling the execution of the dataflow graph on the reconfigurable processor, and
• a monitoring tool that controls access to the entity for monitoring the entity and the reconfigurable processor in connection with the execution of the dataflow graph on the reconfigurable processor.

A method of operating a unified management framework for mediating access to an entity that interacts with a reconfigurable processor, comprising:

• with a configuration tool, controlling access to the entity for provisioning and deprovisioning of a dataflow graph on the reconfigurable processor;
• with an orchestration tool, controlling access to the entity for controlling execution of the dataflow graph on the reconfigurable processor;
• and
• with a monitoring tool, controlling access to the entity for monitoring the entity and the reconfigurable processor in connection with the execution of the dataflow graph on the reconfigurable processor.
