Abstract
A system for tracing operations during application execution and executing the traced operations on a second processing unit. The tracing involves identifying attempts to execute software that performs particular functions that would benefit from execution on a particular piece of non-compatible hardware and, rather than executing the code, recording the requests and the data inputs to each of the requests. At a point during execution of the software system such as, for example, when either a memory threshold has been exceeded for recording the requested code and inputs, or results are needed for the requested code, the corresponding code executable on the non-compatible hardware is identified and executed. Thereafter, the results from the execution on the non-compatible hardware are received and processing continues.
