DYNAMICALLY CONFIGURABLE HARDWARE QUEUES FOR DISPATCHING JOBS TO A PLURALITY OF HARDWARE ACCELERATION ENGINES

A computer system having a plurality of processing resources, including a sub-system for scheduling and dispatching processing jobs to a plurality of hardware accelerators, the subsystem further comprising a job requestor, for requesting jobs having bounded and varying latencies to be executed on the hardware accelerators; a queue controller to manage processing job requests directed to a plurality of hardware accelerators; and multiple hardware queues for dispatching jobs to the plurality of hardware acceleration engines, each queue having a dedicated head of queue entry, dynamically sharing a pool of queue entries, having configurable queue depth limits, and means for removing one or more jobs across all queues.
