Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 18:
19. A system, comprising:
a network-accessible computer configured to receive requests to create virtual machine instances comprising at least one field programmable gate array (FPGA); and
compute hosts coupled to the network-accessible computer and comprising execution resources for providing the requested virtual machine instances, the compute hosts comprising at least one processor and the at least one FPGA, and the at least one FPGA including application logic and host logic, wherein:
the network-accessible computer produces configuration data for programming the application logic with the host logic, the application logic being identified at least in part by the received requests,
the network-accessible computer produces configuration data for programming the host logic with logic for interfacing between the at least one processor and the application logic, and
the compute hosts execute computer-executable instructions for a service process that receives commands from the network-accessible computer and performs operations associated with those commands with the host logic or the application logic.
