Zusammenfassung:An aspect includes hardware accelerator access. An application executing on a core of a multi-core processor triggers an interface code routine to acquire ownership of a hardware accelerator that is shared by a plurality of cores. The interface code routine partitions an input work package of the application into a plurality of pages in one or more input queues. The input work package is provided to the hardware accelerator in groups of one or more pages through the one or more input queues based on acquiring ownership of the hardware accelerator. An output work package is provided from the hardware accelerator in groups of one or more pages to the application.
