Patent attributes
Technology related to orchestrating a configuration of a programmable accelerator is disclosed. In one example, a method includes executing a service within a container runtime. The service can include a software application and an orchestrator application, where the orchestrator application is adapted to configure a programmable hardware accelerator and the software application adapted to interoperate with the programmable hardware accelerator. The orchestrator application, executing within the container runtime, can be used to retrieve a system image from a file repository. The system image can include configuration data for the programmable hardware accelerator. The orchestrator application, executing within the container runtime, can be used to configure the programmable hardware accelerator.
