Resource Efficient Acceleration of Datastream Analytics Processing Using an Analytics Accelerator

摘要

An offload engine may attempt to offload, on behalf of applications, data operations to be performed on a datastream. The offload engine may intercept one or more data operations, such as may be part of a collections API, performed by an application. The data operations and the datastream may be specified and/or provided by the application and, in response, the offload engine may be configured to execute (or attempt to execute) the data operations on the datastream using an analytics accelerating co-processor rather than using a general purpose CPU core. The offload engine may determine whether or not to offload the data operations to the analytics accelerating co-processor. If the offload is unsuccessful or if the offload engine determines that the data operations are not suitable for offloading, the offload engine may then cause the data operations to be performed using general purpose CPU cores on the system.
