    摘要: Methods and devices to augment volatile memory in a graphics subsystem with certain types of non-volatile memory are described. In one embodiment, includes storing one or more static or near-static graphics resources in a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM). The NVRAM is directly accessible by a graphics processor using at least memory store and load commands. The method also includes a graphics processor executing a graphics application. The graphics processor sends a request using a memory load command for an address corresponding to at least one static or near-static graphics resources stored in the NVRAM. The method also includes directly loading the requested graphics resource from the NVRAM into a cache for the graphics processor in response to the memory load command.

    摘要: A method, device, and system to distribute code and data stores between volatile and non-volatile memory are described. In one embodiment, the method includes storing one or more static code segments of a software application in a phase change memory with switch (PCMS) device, storing one or more static data segments of the software application in the PCMS device, and storing one or more volatile data segments of the software application in a volatile memory device. The method then allocates an address mapping table with at least a first address pointer to point to each of the one or more static code segments, at least a second address pointer to point to each of the one or more static data segments, and at least a third address pointer to point to each of the one or more volatile data segments.

    摘要: A computing device for performing scheduling operations for graphics hardware is described herein. The computing device includes a central processing unit (CPU) that is configured to execute an application. The computing device also includes a graphics scheduler configured to operate independently of the CPU. The graphics scheduler is configured to receive work queues relating to workloads from the application that are to execute on the CPU and perform scheduling operations for any of a number of graphics engines based on the work queues.
