Abstract
An accelerated processing system includes one or more conventional processors, one or more coprocessors, and high speed data links between the processors, coprocessors and memory. In an embodiment, an application program is compiled and linked to a library of macros, the macros are invoked at run time by the application program, the application program marks data to be processed by the one or more coprocessors. A service and control coprocessor streams the marked data to the one or more coprocessors for processing. In an embodiment, a coprocessor is configured to analyze software code and data, to schedule processing of the software code and data in another coprocessor, and to manipulate the data based on the type of data that the other coprocessor is configured to process.
