Hardware accelerator emulation

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations comprising:

• identifying a query to perform in an emulated data analytics environment, the query comprising a plurality of operations;
• parsing, by a first virtual machine (VM) executing a first operating system (OS), two subsets of operations from the plurality of operations, wherein a first subset of operations comprises operations to be performed within the first OS and wherein a second subset of operations comprises operations to be performed on a hardware accelerator;
• sending, by the first VM, the second subset of operations to a custom interface;
• receiving, by a second VM executing a second OS and from the custom interface, the second subset of operations;
• executing, by the second VM, the second subset of operations using an emulated hardware accelerator executing on the second VM, wherein executing the second subset of operations comprises performing a read operation of a memory using a standard interface;
• and
• returning, by the second VM, results associated with the second subset of operations to the first VM using the custom interface.

A computer-implemented system, comprising:

• one or more computers;
• and
• one or more computer memory devices interoperably coupled with the one or more computers and having tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable media storing one or more instructions that, when executed by the one or more computers, perform one or more operations comprising:
• identifying a query to perform in an emulated data analytics environment, the query comprising a plurality of operations;
• parsing, by a first virtual machine (VM) executing a first operating system (OS), two subsets of operations from the plurality of operations, wherein a first subset of operations comprises operations to be performed within the first OS and wherein a second subset of operations comprises operations to be performed on a hardware accelerator;
• sending, by the first VM, the second subset of operations to a custom interface;
• receiving, by a second VM executing a second OS and from the custom interface, the second subset of operations;
• executing, by the second VM, the second subset of operations using an emulated hardware accelerator executing on the second VM, wherein executing the second subset of operations comprises performing a read operation of a memory using a standard interface;
• and
• returning, by the second VM, results associated with the second subset of operations to the first VM using the custom interface.
