Embodiments of the invention include methods and systems for hybrid acceleration in a processing environment. Aspects of the invention include transmitting, by a first computing system to a second computing system, a request for access to an accelerator. The first computing system receives access information for a plurality of accelerators from the second computing system responsive to the request. The first computing system analyzes the access information for the plurality of accelerators to identify a first accelerator from the plurality of accelerators and offloads a first processing job to the first accelerator utilizing the access information.
