Abstract:
In general, in one aspect, the invention relates to a method for processing data, the method includes obtaining, by a host operating system (OS) on a host computing device, a notification of a power down. The further includes, in response to the notification, performing a data storage analysis on data stored in host OS memory to identify a plurality of processing tasks to perform on the data, making a first determination, based on the data storage analysis, that data processing is to be offloaded to a graphics processing unit, and in response to the first determination: sending a data processing request to the processing unit, obtaining a second notification associated with processed data from the graphics processing unit, and storing the processed data in a backup storage device.
