Bridging the Gap: A Module-Context Modeling Methodology for Hyperscale FPGA Applications
Abstract
Microsoft operates at hyperscale, deploying FPGA accelerators across global datacenters under development realities that diverge from common practices. When full builds take hours or days, or when the complete system doesn't yet exist, developers turn to module isolation to make progress. But existing isolation techniques sacrifice the physical context needed for accurate optimization, so improvements developed in isolation may not survive integration.
