The next generation of cloud computing is placing Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) at the heart of data centers. Use of reconfigurable hardware allows us to tap into unique and exciting opportunities for meeting ever-growing demands for security, scalability, and performance. In this talk, we will discuss shortcomings of traditional clouds, the benefits of bump-in-the-wire FPGAs, and the critical role that the Open Source community must play to drive innovation. We will also present our framework for Open Source development of FPGA cloud architectures, which require minimal effort towards integration and compatibility, and virtually no expertise in hardware programming.
