Abstract
Technologies are generally provided to integrate hardware accelerators in datacenters. In some examples, a datacenter customer may provide a hardware accelerator configuration to be implemented at a datacenter. The hardware accelerator configuration may include, for example, one or more customer accelerator blocks and one or more accelerator blocks. The datacenter may retrieve the accelerator block(s), integrate the accelerator block(s) with the customer accelerator block(s) to form the hardware accelerator, and then implement the hardware accelerator. In other examples, the datacenter may charge the customer for use of the accelerator block(s), but refrain from providing the accelerator block(s) to the customer.
Claims2
A method to integrate hardware accelerators in a datacenter, the method comprising:
- receiving a customer accelerator block for a hardware accelerator configuration;
- upon determining that the hardware accelerator configuration specifies another accelerator block, retrieving the other accelerator block;
- forming a hardware accelerator by integrating the customer accelerator block and the other accelerator block at the datacenter according to the hardware accelerator configuration while refraining from providing the other accelerator block to a datacenter customer associated with the customer accelerator block;
- and
- deploying the hardware accelerator on a hardware acceleration module at the datacenter.
