Abstract:

Examples described herein relate to an apparatus comprising: a descriptor format translator accessible to a driver. In some examples, the driver and descriptor format translator share access to transmit and receive descriptors. In some examples, based on a format of a descriptor associated with a device differing from a second format of descriptor associated with the driver, the descriptor format translator is to: perform a translation of the descriptor from the format to the second format and store the translated descriptor in the second format for access by the device. In some examples, the device is to access the translated descriptor; the device is to modify content of the translated descriptor to identify at least one work request; and the descriptor format translator is to translate the modified translated descriptor into the format and store the translated modified translated descriptor for access by the driver.
