Abstract

To dynamically allow chaining of logical processing units comprising endpoints, at least a type of an endpoint, and address information whereto connect the endpoint is configured, wherein the type of the endpoint is either a host port type or a logical processing unit type. During offloading from a central processing unit one or more functions to be performed by at least one further processing unit, the central processing unit is interacting with the one or more logical processing units via endpoints of the host port type and logical processing units are interacting via endpoints of the logical processing unit port type, the interaction using the address information.
