1. A method of managing information flow to an application-specific component using memory access capability of a host processor, comprising: monitoring a flow of instructions requested by the host processor from a memory device; routing the flow of instructions to the application-specific component in response to identifying code embedded in the flow of instructions targeted for execution by the application-specific component; while the flow of instructions is being routed to the application-specific component, directing a sequence of instructions to the host processor configured to maintain instruction execution flow in the host processor; and re-routing the flow of instructions to the host processor in response to identifying an end of the code.
