Claim 19:
20. A data processing method comprising:
running an application through at least one general purpose processor to offload data processing of at least a portion of a data processing task from the at least one general purpose processor to at least one coprocessor and at least one specific application processor; and
without intervention of the application running on the at least one general purpose processor, dealing with a control flow of the data processing of at least the portion of the data processing task through the at least one coprocessor and dealing with a data flow of the data processing of at least the portion of the data processing task through the at least one application specific processor;
wherein the application running on the at least one general purpose processor offloads the data processing by calling an application programming interface (API) function;
wherein the at least one application specific processor is arranged to deal with a kernel function having a kernel identifier, the data processing of at least the portion of the data processing task is arranged to process an object having an object identifier in an object storage device, and parameters of the API function comprise the kernel identifier and the object identifier.
