    Abstract: Offloading computations from a processor to remote execution logic is disclosed. Offload instructions for remote execution on a remote device are dispatched in the form of processor instructions like conventional instructions. In the processor, an offload instruction is inserted in an offload queue. The offload instruction may be inserted at the dispatch stage or the retire stage of the processor pipeline. Metadata for the offload instruction is added to the offload instruction in the offload queue. After retirement of the offload instruction, the processor transmits an offload request generated from the offload instruction.
