Abstract
A gateway for interfacing a host with a subsystem for acting as a work accelerator to the host. The gateway enables the transfer of batches of data to the subsystem at precompiled data exchange synchronisation points. The gateway comprises a streaming engine having a data mover engine and a memory management engine, the data mover engine and memory management engine being configured to execute instructions in coordination from work descriptors. The memory management engine is configured to execute instructions from the work descriptor to transfer data between external storage and the local memory associated with the gateway. The data mover engine is configured to execute instructions from the work descriptor to transfer data between the local memory associated with the gateway and the subsystem.
