Abstract:
A method and apparatus of a device that manages virtual memory for a graphics processing unit is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device manages a graphics processing unit working set of pages. In this embodiment, the device determines the set of pages of the device to be analyzed, where the device includes a central processing unit and the graphics processing unit. The device additionally classifies the set of pages based on a graphics processing unit activity associated with the set of pages and evicts a page of the set of pages based on the classifying.
