Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A multiprocessor using a shared virtual memory (SVM) is provided. The multiprocessor includes a plurality of processing cores and a memory manager configured to transform a virtual address into a physical address to allow a processing core to access a memory region corresponding to the physical address.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A multiprocessor including a plurality of processing cores that use a shared virtual memory (SVM), the multiprocessor comprising: the plurality of processing cores, each of the processing cores comprising: a local store that is not shared with the other processing cores; and a memory manager configured to generate a table comprising a plurality of page descriptors with different levels, the table indicating whether one of a plurality of pages of the SVM i…
