Abstract
A data processing system is presented that includes multiple local buses, a host processor, a network interface controller (NIC) for connecting to external storage via a network, one or more reconfigurable processors, and a bus switch. The bus switch couples the multiple local busses, thereby operatively coupling the one or more reconfigurable processors, the host processor, and the NIC. The one or more reconfigurable processors are configured to implement a virtual function that uses a virtual address for a memory access operation. The host processor is configured to implement an application programming interface (API) that translates the virtual address into a physical address, and the NIC uses the physical address to initiate a direct data access operation at the external storage that moves data directly between the one or more reconfigurable processors and the external storage, wherein the data bypasses the host processor.
