  • Publication number: 20230350721
    Abstract: Data format conversion processing of an accelerator accessed by a processor of a computing environment is reduced. The processor and accelerator use different data formats, and the accelerator is configured to perform an input conversion to convert data from a processor data format to an accelerator data format prior to performing an operation using the data, and an output conversion to convert resultant data from accelerator data format back to processor data format after performing the operation. The reducing includes determining that adjoining operations of a process to run on the processor and accelerator are to be performed by the accelerator, where the adjoining operations include a source operation and destination operation. Further, the reducing includes blocking an output data format conversion of the source operation and an input data format conversion of the input data for the destination operation.
