Abstract
A system that allows access to a virtualized device is disclosed. The system may include a device, a processor, and a communication unit coupled to the device via a communication link. The device may include hardware resources configured to be shared by multiple threads executing on the processor. The communication unit may be configured to detect a request to access the device by the processor. In response to the detection of the request, the communication unit may send one or more instructions to the device via the communication link using a communication protocol.
