Coral

Definition of: Coral-

InAccel Coral is a distributed acceleration framework designed to orchestrate clusters of FPGAs. It abstracts away the FPGA resources (device, memory), enabling fault-tolerant heterogeneous distributed systems to easily be built and run effectively.

The main concepts behind Coral are:

• Ease of Use

  Write applications quickly in C++, Java, Scala and Python.

• Generality

  Build your own repository of accelerators.

• Scalability

  Industry proven to easily scale to unlimited FPGA resources.

• Runs Anywhere

• Easy to Deploy

• Resource Management

  Automatic resource configuration and task scheduling across entire FPGA clusters in private datacenters or public cloud environments.

• Privacy / Isolation

  Coral allows the secure sharing of the hardware resources among different users and multiple processes or threads.

• Web UI

  Built-in Web UI for viewing cluster state, navigating in memory objects and monitoring acceleration tasks.
