Methods and apparatuses are provided for facilitating execution of kernels requiring runtime compilation. A method may include implementing a driver for a framework for handling kernels requiring runtime compilation. The method may further include receiving, by the driver, code for a kernel requiring at least partial runtime compilation for execution using the framework. The method may additionally include obtaining, by the driver, a compiled executable version of the kernel. The obtained compiled executable version of the kernel may not have been locally compiled. The method may also include causing, by the driver, the compiled executable version of the kernel to be provided for execution. Corresponding apparatuses are also provided.
