Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for executing a computation task composed of at least one set of operations where subsets of pipelineable operations of the set of operations are determined in accordance with a pipelining scheme. A single routine may be created for enabling execution of the determined subsets of operations by a hardware accelerator. The routine has, as arguments, a value indicative of input data and values of configuration parameters of the computation task, where a call of the routine causes a scheduling of the subsets of operations on the hardware accelerator in accordance with the values of the configuration parameters. Upon receiving input data of the computation task, the routine may be called to cause the hardware accelerator to perform by the computation task in accordance with the scheduling.
