Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for offloading functionality in an integrated circuit are presented. Certain embodiments are described that disclose methods pertaining to implementation of a universal offload engine that can service several functional blocks, each configured to perform a different function. The offload engine can be iteratively implemented with a common interface to functional blocks. Work descriptors can be used between DMA engines and corresponding functional blocks to instruct the DMA engines how to transport data between memory locations and/or to reformat the data.
