Abstract
An interface mitigates the need for inter-application locks in a storage system with a HPP. The interface includes a virtual device driver that can be accessed by both emulation threads and guest OS Container threads and separate memory pages that are pinned for use as buffer spaces. The pinned buffer memory pages are shared by CPU cores and by individual virtual HPP client drivers. The interface enables virtualization of GPUs and HPPs.
