DYNAMIC DETERMINATION OF THE APPLICABILITY OF A HARDWARE ACCELERATOR TO A REQUEST

摘要

A method, system, and computer program product to dynamically determine the applicability of a hardware accelerator to a request for a function, the request including a set of blocks of input data, are described. Aspects include storing a decision of whether to use the hardware accelerator or a software module to execute the function based on a previously processed request and determining whether the request matches the previously processed request. Aspects also include processing the set of blocks of input data using the hardware accelerator or the software module according to the decision based on the request matching the previously processed request.

1. A computer-implemented method of dynamically determining an applicability of a hardware accelerator to a request for a function, the request including a set of blocks of input data, the method comprising:
storing a decision of whether to use the hardware accelerator or a software module to execute the function based on a previously processed request; determining, using a processor, whether the request matches the previously processed request; and processing the set of blocks of input data using the hardware accelerator or the software module according to the decision based on the request matching the previously processed request.
