Abstract
A computer system comprising: (i) a computer subsystem configured to act as a work accelerator, and (ii) a gateway connected to the computer subsystem, the gateway enabling the transfer of data to the computer subsystem from external storage at pre-compiled data exchange synchronization points attained by the computer subsystem, which act as a barrier between a compute phase and an exchange phase of the computer subsystem, wherein the computer subsystem is configured to pull data from a gateway transfer memory of the gateway in response to the pre-compiled data exchange synchronization point attained by the subsystem, wherein the gateway comprises at least one processor configured to perform at least one operation to pre-load at least some of the data from a first memory of the gateway to the gateway transfer memory in advance of the pre-compiled data exchange synchronization point attained by the subsystem.
