Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A data processing system includes one or more processors that each execute one or more operating systems that include one or more applications; an accelerator that provides a shared resource for a plurality of the applications; a storage area accessible by the processors and the accelerator; and one or more input/output interfaces for control of, or the submission of tasks to, the accelerator. To initialize one of the input/output interfaces, one of the one or more processors is capable of sending a first signal to the accelerator; the accelerator is capable of writing one or more selected pieces of information representative of one or more capabilities of the accelerator to the storage area and sending a second signal to the processor; the processor is capable of reading the one or more selected pieces of information from the storage area; and the accelerator is capable of configuring the input/output interface.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of initialising an a hypervisor interface for the control of an accelerator that acts as a shared resource in a data processing system, wherein the data processing system comprises: one or more processors that each execute one or more operating systems, each operating system including one or more applications; an accelerator that provides a shared resource for a plurality of the applications; a storage area accessible by at least the one or more…
