Abstract
A system is disclosed that comprises a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a network interface, and hardware description code, wherein the hardware description code is compilable into a plurality of bit configuration files for loading onto the FPGA, wherein each bit configuration file defines a pipelined processing operation for a hardware template. The FPGA comprises configurable hardware logic, and the FPGA can be accessible over a network via the network interface for commanding the FPGA to load a bit configuration file from among the bit configuration files onto the FPGA to thereby configure hardware logic on the FPGA to perform the pipelined processing operation defined by the loaded bit configuration file, and wherein the FPGA is configured to (1) receive streaming data and (2) process the streaming data through the configured hardware logic to perform the pipelined processing operation defined by the loaded bit configuration file on the streaming data.
