Framework for application driven exploration and optimization of hardware engines

A system comprising a memory storing instructions and a processor, coupled with the memory and to execute the instructions, the instructions when executed causing the processor to:

• generate a first task graph corresponding to an application software and defining a functionality so as to generate a first result, wherein the first task graph comprises a first plurality of tasks each configured to be implemented by a first configuration of a first hardware resource, wherein the first configuration includes firmware held in a non-volatile memory;
• generate a second task graph corresponding to the application software and defining the functionality so as to generate a second result, wherein the second task graph comprises a second plurality of tasks each configured to be implemented by a second configuration of a second hardware resource, wherein the second configuration includes a hardware acceleration resource;
• and
• change a code associated with the application software based on a comparison of the first result associated with the first configuration of the first hardware resource and the second result associated with the second configuration of the second hardware.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising stored instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• generate a first task graph corresponding to an application software and defining a functionality so as to generate a first result, wherein the first task graph comprises a first plurality of tasks each configured to be implemented by a first configuration of a first hardware resource, wherein the first configuration includes firmware held in a non-volatile memory device;
• generate a second task graph corresponding to the application software and defining the functionality so as to generate a second result, wherein the second task graph comprises a second plurality of tasks each configured to be implemented by a second configuration of a second hardware resource, wherein the second configuration includes a hardware acceleration resource;
• and
• change a code associated with the application software based on a comparison of the first result associated with the first configuration of the first hardware resource and the second result associated with the second configuration of the second hardware resource.
