Hot-Plug Events In A Pool Of Reconfigurable Data Flow Resources

The data processing system of claim 18, wherein the runtime processor comprises:

• a daemon module;
• a kernel module;
• and
• a fault management module that is configured to determine that a memory resource of a plurality of memory resources of an allocated array of physical configurable units in the pool of reconfigurable data flow resources is in a faulty state;
• and
• transmit a file descriptor data structure to the kernel module using an input-output control (IOCTL) system call, wherein the file descriptor data structure specifies that the memory resource of the plurality of memory resources of the allocated array of physical configurable units in the pool of reconfigurable data flow resources is in the faulty state.

A data processing system, comprising:

• a pool of reconfigurable data flow resources having a plurality of reconfigurable processors, and memory;
• and
• a runtime processor connected to the pool of reconfigurable data flow resources, and configured to provide unified access to the plurality of reconfigurable processors via a file system,
• wherein the file system is configured as a rollup file structure representation of the plurality of reconfigurable processors into a root device directory,
• wherein the file system is configured to decouple the root device directory from changes to the pool of reconfigurable data flow resources, and
• wherein the changes comprise a removal of at least one reconfigurable processor of the plurality of reconfigurable processors from the pool of reconfigurable data flow resources.
