An approach for an efficient sharing of IP as a Service in cloud FPGA

Abstract

Using FPGAs in the cloud has rapidly and significantly increased over the last few years. FPGA devices can be either integrated to support the cloud infrastructure or used as a computing resources. FPGA are available as a computing resources for enabling the designers to accelerate their applications. Putting FPGA environment in the cloud called FPGA as a service, have proposed different services. These existing services cannot solve all challenges. In this paper, we propose a new service called Intellectual Property (IP) as a Service trying to resolve the unsolved challenges. This service will allow easily and Quickly exploit and share IP in the cloud.
