Claim 14:
15. A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium, having stored thereon program instructions that, upon execution by processing circuitry of a platform system, cause the platform system to perform operations comprising:
providing access to a central processing unit (CPU);
receiving, from the CPU, data based on a direct memory access connection;
providing, via a programmable logic device, a first hardware accelerator to perform a first function on the data based on a set of conditions and to provide corresponding first output data;
determining that a condition of the set of conditions is met; and
providing, via the programmable logic device, a second hardware accelerator to receive, in response to determining that the condition is met, the first output data from the first hardware accelerator, to perform a second function on the first output data without routing the first output data external to the programmable logic device, and to provide corresponding second output data.
