Abstract
A method for providing a computer system including: a trivial file transfer protocol (TFTP) server computer, a system management controller computer and a set of subnet(s) including a first subnet, with each subnet of the set of subnet(s) including a primary computer and a plurality of host computers that respectively include a field programmable gate array (FPGA) with programmable blocks, polling, by the system management controller, each computer of the first subnet to determine that all of the computers of the first subnet are ready to receive a broadcast of an FPGA image, instructing the TFTP server computer to send the FPGA image to all of the machines of the first subnet; and sending, by the TFTP server computer and to all of the computers of the first subnet, the FPGA image.
