Method for dispatching hardware accelerator (HAC) and dispatching equipment

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a method for dispatching a hardware accelerator (HAC) and dispatching equipment, which are used for solving the problem of poor HAC dispatching efficiency ofthe prior art. The method disclosed by the embodiment of the invention comprises the steps that the dispatching equipment receives task request information, wherein the task request information is used for requesting a request task allocation HAC; and the dispatching equipment calls a target HAC in a first state to execute a request task and switches the state of the target HAC to a second state,wherein the first state is used for expressing that the target HAC is not executing task, and the second state is used for expressing that the target HAC is executing task.

Description

Technical field

[0001] This application relates to the field of network communication technology, and in particular to a method for scheduling a hardware accelerator and a scheduling device. Background technique

[0002] A hardware accelerator (HAC) is a hardware module that uses a logic language to implement certain specific functions. Because it can process data in parallel, it has a greater advantage in processing power and delay than software implementation. At present, some communication chips will use HAC to complete the large data, large amount of calculation, and achieve fixed kinetic energy in order to reduce the cost of software deployment. With the development of communication services, the business scenarios are becoming more and more complex, making the processing specifications and delay requirements of the business higher and higher. In order to meet these requirements, the chips have to be deployed in larger scales, higher complexity, and larger numbers. Therefor...
