Hardware acceleration for function processing

Abstract:

A function processing service may receive a request to execute source code. The source code may include instructions to perform a function. The function processing service may determine whether at least one hardware acceleration condition has been satisfied for the function. If at least one hardware acceleration condition has been satisfied, the instructions in the source code may be translated into hardware-specific code corresponding to a hardware circuit. The hardware circuit may be configured based on the hardware-specific code, and the hardware circuit may perform the function. The function processing service may then provide the result obtained from the hardware circuit to the requesting entity.
