Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for managing priority-arbitrated access to a set of one or more computational engines of a physical computing device. The method includes providing a multiplexer module and a network bus in the physical computing device, wherein the multiplexer module is connected to the network bus. The method further includes receiving, by the multiplexer module, a first data processing request from a driver and inferring, by the multiplexer module, a first priority class from the first data processing request according to at least one property of the first data processing request. The method further includes manipulating, by the multiplexer module, a priority according to which the physical computing device handles data associated with the first data processing request in relation to data associated with other data processing requests, wherein the priority is determined by the first priority class.
