  • Virtualization of hardware accelerator allowing simultaneous reading and writing
    Patent number: 10037222
    Abstract: Technologies are generally provided to virtualize hardware acceleration. In some examples, a coprovisor component may be configured to multiplex multiple domains' requests to access a hardware accelerator such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or a comparable accelerator in a paravirtualized environment. Hyper-requesting may be employed for hardware acceleration virtualization, where a hardware acceleration module concurrently loads a portion of data of a request for a first accelerator application and a portion of data of another request for a second accelerator application and simultaneously processes the two portions of data. Directly situated on a device driver layer, the coprovisor may schedule portions of access requests to the hardware accelerator at the same time through direct memory access (DMA) context switching.
