Abstract
An example method of offloading a compute task to an accelerator by an application executing in a host cluster includes: sending, by an application executing in an initiator host, the compute task to a virtual accelerator in the initiator host, the virtual accelerator paired with a hardware accelerator in a target host of the host cluster; forwarding, by the virtual accelerator, the compute task to the hardware accelerator in the target host over a network; and receiving, at the application via the virtual accelerator, a result of the compute task from the hardware accelerator over the network.
