Abstract

A method for dynamically configuring multiple processors based on needs of applications includes receiving, from an application, an acceleration request message including a task to be accelerated. The method further includes determining a type of the task and searching a database of available accelerators to dynamically select a first accelerator based on the type of the task. The method further includes sending the acceleration request message to a first acceleration interface located at a configurable processing circuit. The first acceleration interface sends the acceleration request message to a first accelerator, and the first accelerator accelerates the task upon receipt of the acceleration request message.
