Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage media associated with providing hardware acceleration by mapping data requests from a plurality of virtual machines to a plurality of virtual channels is described herein. In embodiments, an apparatus may include a plurality of programmable circuit cells and logic programmed into the programmable circuit cells to receive, from a plurality of virtual machines running on a processor coupled to the apparatus, a plurality of data flows that respectively contain a plurality of data requests. The apparatus may further map the plurality of data flows to a plurality of instances of acceleration logic, and to independently manage responses to the plurality of data flows. Other embodiments may be disclosed herein.
