HARDWARE ACCELERATION USING A SELF-PROGRAMMABLE COPROCESSOR ARCHITECTURE

Hardware acceleration using a self-programmable coprocessor architecture may include determining that an instruction cache comprises an accelerable instruction sequence; instead of executing the accelerable instruction sequence, providing, to an accelerator block of an accelerator complex comprising a plurality of accelerator blocks, a complex instruction corresponding to the accelerable instruction sequence, wherein the accelerator block comprises one or more reprogrammable logic elements configured to execute the complex instruction; and receiving, from the accelerator complex, a result of the complex instruction.
