Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to compute offloading by supplying operands to hardware accelerators from central processing units. An example embodiment includes a system configured to perform compute offloading. The system comprises a processing unit configured to write data to a memory and a memory adaptor bridge coupled between the processing unit and the memory. The memory adaptor bridge is configured to, in response to an attempt by the processing unit to write an operand to a memory location mapped to a function of a hardware accelerator, write the operand to a different memory location accessible by the hardware accelerator. The memory adaptor bridge is further configured to obtain a result of the function performed on the operand by the hardware accelerator and provide the result of the function to a memory location accessible by the processing unit.
