1. A network interface controller (NIC), comprising:
a host interface to couple to a host device comprising a host processor and one or more accelerators;
a pre-fetch command queue storing a plurality of communication operations, a respective communication operation being associated with an accelerator, wherein the communication operations are generated by the host processor for the accelerators; and
a triggering logic block to, in response to determining that a triggering condition associated with the respective communication operation is met, issue the communication operation on behalf of the associated accelerator, wherein the triggering logic block is to pre-fetch the communication operations from a command queue on the host device.
