Abstract:
A method includes processing an application by a host including one or more processors and distributing at least a portion of the application to an accelerator for execution. The method includes instructing the accelerator to create a buffer on the accelerator and instructing the accelerator to execute the portion of the application, wherein the accelerator writes data to the buffer. The method also includes instructing the accelerator to transmit the data in the buffer to the host before the application requests the data in the buffer. The accelerator aggregates the data in the buffer before transmitting the data to the host based upon one or more runtime conditions in the host.
