US Patent 11042414 Hardware accelerated compute kernels

A request to perform a compute task is received. A service to perform at least a portion of the compute task is identified, wherein the identified service is associated with a field-programmable gate array that has been programmed to perform at least the portion of the compute task. The identified service to perform at least the portion of the compute task of the request is invoked. At least the portion of the compute task is executed using the field-programmable gate array.
