Patent attributes
An accelerator manager monitors and logs performance of multiple accelerators, analyzes the logged performance, determines from the logged performance of a selected accelerator a desired programmable device for the selected accelerator, and specifies the desired programmable device to one or more accelerator developers. The accelerator manager can further analyze the logged performance of the accelerators, and generate from the analyzed logged performance an ordered list of test cases, ordered from fastest to slowest. A test case is selected, and when the estimated simulation time for the selected test case is less than the estimated synthesis time for the test case, the test case is simulated and run. When the estimated simulation time for the selected test case is greater than the estimated synthesis time for the text case, the selected test case is synthesized and run.
