Abstract
A processing device includes an interface and one or more processing circuits. The interface is to connect to a host processor. The one or more processing circuits are to receive from the host processor, via the interface, a notification specifying an operation for execution by the processing device, the operation including (i) multiple tasks that are executable by the network device, and (ii) execution dependencies among the tasks, in response to the notification, to determine a schedule for executing the tasks, the schedule complying with the execution dependencies, and to execute the operation by executing the tasks of the operation in accordance with the schedule.
