19. A method, comprising:
receiving a firmware installation package comprising extension drivers in a heterogeneous computing platform comprising a plurality of devices, wherein upon execution, each extension driver causes a respective device to provide a firmware service to other devices via an Application Programming Interface (API); and
delivering an indication of a policy to an orchestrator among the plurality of devices, wherein the policy is usable by the orchestrator to characterize a workload executed by the heterogenous computing platform without any involvement by any host Operating System (OS).
