Abstract

See full text

Embodiments include methods, systems and computer program products for providing an extendable job structure for executing instructions on an accelerator. The method includes creating a number of data descriptor blocks, each having a fixed number of memory location addresses and a pointer to a next of the number of the data descriptor block. The method further includes creating a last data descriptor block having the fixed number of memory location addresses and a last block indicator. Based on determining that additional memory is required for executing instructions on the accelerator, the method includes modifying the last data descriptor block to become a data extender block having a pointer to one of one or more new data descriptor blocks and creating a new last data descriptor block.
