Method and apparatus for scheduling access to multiple accelerators

A computing system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• an accelerator system including a plurality of accelerators coupled to the processor to receive a first request to process data for a first application by a first accelerator of the plurality of accelerators, an accelerator of the plurality of accelerators being dedicated to one or more specialized computations of the computing system for data processing,
• the accelerator system to schedule resources for the first request based on the first request and a second request to process data for a second application by a second accelerator of the plurality of accelerators, the first and second requests having one or more priority indications indicating priority between the first and second requests, and
• the accelerator system to process the data for the first application using the resources as scheduled responsive to the first request.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a machine, are capable of causing performance of:

• receiving a first request to process data for a first application by a first accelerator of a plurality of accelerators of a computing system, an accelerator of the plurality of accelerators being dedicated to one or more respective specialized computations of the computing system for data processing;
• scheduling resources for the first request based on the first request and a second request to process data for a second application by a second accelerator of the plurality of accelerators, the first and second requests having one or more priority indications indicating priority between the first and second requests;
• and
• processing the data for the first application using the resources as scheduled responsive to the first request.
