Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes setting a respective flag in a first buffer of a hardware accelerator. The first buffer includes the respective flag of the first buffer, and a second buffer of the hardware accelerator includes a respective flag of the second buffer. A hardware state of the hardware accelerator is maintained in the first buffer, based on the respective flag of the first buffer being set. A first request directed to the hardware accelerator is received. It is determined that that the first buffer has the respective flag set. The first request is passed to the hardware accelerator, where passing the first request includes passing to the hardware accelerator a pointer to the first buffer, based on the first buffer having the respective flag set.
