NETWORKED PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC SERVICE PROVIDER

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for programming reconfigurable logic devices such as FPGAs in a networked server environment. In one example, a system hosting a network service providing field programmable gate array (FPGA) services includes a network service provider configured to receive a request to implement application logic in a plurality of FPGAs, allocate a computing instance comprising the FPGAs in responses to receiving the request, produce configuration information for programming the FPGAs, and send the configuration information to an allocated computing instance. The system further includes a computing host that is allocated by the network service provider as a computing instance which includes memory, processors configured to execute computer-executable instructions stored in the memory, and the programmed FPGAs.
