Abstract

A PaaS cloud server and a multi-tenant operating method thereof are provided. The PaaS cloud server receives an application resource request and determines an available logic circuit object according to the application resource request. The PaaS cloud server creates an FPGA service object and pairs the FPGA service object and the logic circuit object. The PaaS cloud server binds the FPGA service object with an application of the tenant and receives an application data from the application. The PaaS cloud server inputs the application data into a part logic circuit of an FGPA circuit corresponding to the logic circuit object according to the pairing of the FPGA service object and the logic circuit object so that the part logic circuit computes a result data of the application data. The PaaS cloud server returns the result data to the application.
