Abstract
Systems and methods for offloading computations from a CPU directly to an accelerator engine are disclosed. One embodiment includes determining a function of an application to be offloaded from a CPU to an accelerator engine, locating data within a file necessary to perform the functions, programming a logic of the accelerator engine based on the function to be offloaded, programming a DMA engine to move a copy the data from a secondary storage device to the accelerator engine, and processing the data at the accelerator engine using the programmed logic.
