Abstract
A system for distributed function execution, the system includes a host in operable communication with an accelerator. The system is configured to perform a method including processing an application by the host and distributing at least a portion of the application to the accelerator for execution. The method also includes instructing the accelerator to create a buffer on the accelerator, instructing the accelerator to execute the portion of the application, wherein the accelerator writes data to the buffer and instructing the accelerator to transmit the data in the buffer to the host before the application requests the data in the buffer. The accelerator aggregates the data in the buffer before transmitting the data to the host based upon one or more runtime conditions in the host.
