Abstract
Technologies for providing inter-kernel flow control for accelerator device kernels includes an accelerator device. The accelerator device includes circuitry to determine availability data indicative of an availability of one or more accelerator device kernels in a system. The availability data includes credit data indicative of a number of data packets permitted to be sent from an output port associated with a kernel of the present accelerator device to an input port associated with another accelerator device kernel. The circuitry is also to obtain a data packet to be processed by a target accelerator device kernel in the system. Additionally, the circuitry is to determine, as a function of the credit data, an output port to send the data packet through to provide the data packet to the target accelerator device kernel. Additionally, the circuitry is to send the data packet through the determined output port.
