System, device and method for processing data

Abstract

A system, device and method for processing data, which can shorten the FPGA program development cycle and reduce the FPGA program development complexity. The system comprises a general-purpose processor node (110) and a plurality of FPGA nodes (120), wherein the system is provided with a configuration document library, the configuration document library comprising at least one configuration document corresponding to each FPGA node of the plurality of FPGA nodes. Each configuration document corresponding to each FPGA node is used for configuring the FPGA node to realize an algorithm module; the general-purpose processor node is used for determining at least one target configuration document from a plurality of configuration documents included in the configuration document library according to information about at least one target algorithm module, and sending a configuration message to at least one target FPGA node, wherein the configuration message is used for indicating the target configuration document corresponding to the target FPGA node; and the target FPGA node is used for receiving the configuration message sent by the general-purpose processor node, and executing a configuration operation according to the target configuration document indicated in the configuration message.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of data processing, and more specifically, to a system, device and method for processing data. Background technique [0002] With the development of Internet technology and the expansion of market demand for high-performance computing, cluster computing is becoming more and more popular. In cluster computing, heterogeneous clusters are the future development trend. At the same time, because Field Programmable Gate Array (Field Programmable Gate Array, FPGA) has irreplaceable acceleration performance for some algorithms, FPGA is used as an accelerator in cluster computing. attracted more and more attention. [0003] However, the program development process for FPGAs is much more complicated than that for general-purpose processors. For algorithms with the same complexity, the program development cycle of FPGA is much longer than that of general-purpose processors. A typical FPGA program develop...
