Abstract: A method includes obtaining multiple command requests, each including a command address. The method also includes performing a load balancing operation to select a first container of multiple containers to store a first command address. The method further includes storing the first command address in the first data container. The method also includes transmitting the first command address from the first data container to a data transform accelerator. The method further includes obtaining transformed data from the data transform accelerator.

Abstract: A method includes determining an address associated with a data transform command in a container data structure which is in the data transform accelerator. The data transform accelerator is in communication with a host computing unit. In response to a determination that the address is in the container data structure, the method includes accessing the data transform command based on the address. The data transform command is in the host computing unit. The method includes obtaining metadata based on information in the data transform command. The metadata is in the data transform accelerator or spread out in the host computing unit memory and in the memory of data transform accelerator. The method includes configuring a data transform pipeline based on the metadata. The metadata can be shared in its entirety or partially by multiple data transform commands grouped together.

Abstract: A method includes determining a communication interface between a host computing unit and a data transform accelerator, hosting one or more virtual machines on a host operating system of the host computing unit; partitioning a collection of container data structures into multiple sets; partitioning a memory of the data transform accelerator into multiple partitions; submitting one or more data transform commands for processing by the data transform accelerator device; in response to a determination that an address is in a particular container data structure, accessing the data transform command based on the address; obtaining metadata based on information in the data transform command; and configuring a data transform pipeline based on the metadata.
