Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed herein are systems, apparatuses, and methods for enabling efficient reads to a local memory of a processing unit. In an embodiment, a processing unit includes an interface and a buffer. The interface is configured to (i) send a request for a portion of data in a region of a local memory of an other processing unit and (ii) receive, responsive to the request, all the data from the region. The buffer is configured to store the data from the region of the local memory of the other processing unit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: sending from a first processing unit, via an interface between the first processing unit and a second processing unit, a first request for a portion of data stored in a region of a local memory of the second processing unit, wherein the first processing unit is a central processing unit (CPU) and the second processing unit is a graphics processing unit (GPU); receiving, responsive to the first request, a copy of…
