Abstract
A computer-implemented method for offloading a problem having 2size from processing circuitry to one or more accelerators is disclosed. The processing circuitry and the one or more accelerators include respective memories. In the method, a problem having 2size is divided into a plurality of units each having 2size. At least a part of the units is allocated to the one or more accelerators. A determination is made as to whether there is a remaining part of the units to be allocated onto the processing circuitry. A temporary buffer is prepared on each memory of at least the one or more accelerators. The temporary buffer is used for storing a copy of a dependent unit stored on a different memory, during inter-unit calculation.
