Abstract
An apparatus includes a processor, a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, an acceleration framework circuit communicatively coupled to the memory and the processor, and a device driver. The device driver is configured to receive a request for data manipulation by a software defined storage (SDS) application. The device driver is configured to determine whether the request for data manipulation can be offloaded from the processor to the acceleration framework circuit. The device driver is configured to, based upon the determination of whether the request for data manipulation can be offloaded from the processor to the acceleration framework circuit, selectively cause the request to be executed by the acceleration framework circuit or the SDS application through execution on the processor.
