ABSTRACT:
There is provided an apparatus for processing data under control of a program having program instructions and subgraph suggestion information identifying respective sequences of program instructions corresponding to computational subgraphs identified within said program, said apparatus comprising:a memory operable to store a program formed of separate program instructions;processing logic operable to execute respective separate program instructions from said program; andaccelerator logic operable in response to reaching an execution point within said program associated with a subgraph suggestion to execute a sequence of program instructions corresponding to said subgraph suggestion as an accelerated operation instead of executing said sequence of program instructions as respective separate program instructions with said processing logic.
