Abstract
A service deployment method and a network functions acceleration platform are provided. The method includes: when an FPGA is powered on, loading, by the FPGA, an FPGA framework file, so that the FPGA includes M partial reconfigurable PR areas, a configuration module, and a data flow forwarding module; when receiving a service configuration instruction, generating, by a physical machine, a VM, and selecting at least one PR area from the M PR areas to establish a correspondence with the VM; performing, by a configuration module, service resource configuration on the selected PR area according to a PR configuration resource, so that the selected PR area has a service processing capability; adding, by the configuration module, a forwarding entry corresponding to the PR area in a forwarding flow table, so that the data flow forwarding module forwards a received network packet to the corresponding PR area.
