Abstract:
Utilization metrics associated with a plurality of eligible compute tasks executable on a plurality of field-programmable gate arrays are determined. The utilization metrics are evaluated to dynamically identify a reallocation of an identified field-programmable gate array resource of the field-programmable gate arrays to handle a selected eligible compute task of the eligible compute tasks. The identified field-programmable gate array resource is automatically reprogrammed to handle the selected eligible compute task.
