1. A method, said method comprising: receiving, by an extended virtual function shell positioned on a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) configuration space, a virtual function call comprising a request to perform a specific computation; identifying a physical function associated with the called virtual function, the physical function one of multiple physical functions positioned on the PCIe configuration space; retrieving, from a virtual function instance stored in the memory, one or more first data values, the virtual function instance associated with the called virtual function; retrieving, from the identified physical function, one or more second data values; and performing the specific computation using the first data values and the second data values, thereby calculating a result.
