Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
providing a software library having a plurality of functions having compute identifiers;
wherein the software library is associated with a hardware library including one or more hardware accelerated functions, wherein the hardware accelerated functions are associated with the compute identifiers, and each hardware accelerated function is a functional equivalent of a function of the software library having the same compute identifier; and
providing a hybrid executor layer that, when executed by a data processing system with an acceleration-ready computer program built using the software library, is configured to initiate execution of a selected function of the acceleration-ready computer program using a processor of the data processing system or invoke a selected hardware accelerated function of the hardware library having a compute identifier matching the compute identifier of the selected function based on comparing acceleration criteria with acceleration rules;
wherein the comparing includes determining that the selected function has a compute identifier, determining that the selected hardware accelerated function has a compute identifier matching the compute identifier of the selected function, and determining an amount of time required to load the selected hardware accelerated function in a hardware accelerator.
