Abstract
A method for providing an asynchronous execution queue for accelerator hardware includes replacing a malloc operation in an execution queue to be sent to an accelerator with an asynchronous malloc operation that returns a unique reference pointer. Execution of the asynchronous malloc operation in the execution queue by the accelerator allocates a requested memory size and adds an entry to a look-up table accessible by the accelerator that maps the reference pointer to a corresponding memory address.
