Abstract

Example embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and devices for optimizing performance of hardware accelerators. The accelerator device may detect status information of a current acceleration task being executed. The detected status information is provided to a host associated with the accelerator device. The host makes preparation for a subsequent acceleration task based on the status information before termination of the current running acceleration task. The accelerator device may execute the subsequent acceleration task based on the preparation. In this way, the performance of hardware accelerator is optimized.
