Abstract
A digital system is provided that includes a number of hardware accelerators. Each hardware accelerator is paired with a synchronization module that is configured to determine when a scheduled task can be started. Each synchronization module includes a network interface configured to send and receive messages to and from other synchronization modules and a configuration interface configured to receive task information from a host processor. Each synchronization module also includes a task scheduler configured to select a task in response to a received message and a task processor interface configured to initiate the selected task on a hardware accelerator coupled to the synchronization module.
