Abstract

Aspect methods, systems and devices may be configured to perform two-way and/or reverse procedure calls in a computing device or across a network to offload the bulk of processing operations from a general purpose processor to an auxiliary processor, while perform operations that require access to context information locally on the general purpose processor (e.g., application processor, CPU, etc.). The two-way and/or reverse procedure calls allow an auxiliary processor to perform operations that include subroutines that require access to an application processor's or a calling process's context information, without requiring the calling process to send the context information to the auxiliary processor (e.g., as part of the procedure call/method invocation, etc.).
