Abstract: A technique for operating a memory system is disclosed. The technique includes performing a first request, by a first memory client, to access data at a first memory address, wherein the first memory address refers to data in a first memory section that is coupled to the first memory client via a direct memory connection; servicing the first request via the direct memory connection; performing a second request, by the first client, to access data at a second memory address, wherein the second memory address refers to data in a second memory section that is coupled to the first client via a cross connection; and servicing the second request via the cross connection.

Abstract: A technique for operating a processing device is disclosed. The method includes irreversibly activating a testing mode switch of the processing device; in response to the activating, entering a testing mode in which normal operation of the processing device is disabled; receiving software for the processing device in the testing mode; based on whether the software is verified as testing mode-signed software, executing or not executing the software.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for executing a collaborative task in a shader system. Techniques disclosed include receiving, by the system, input data and computing instructions associated with the collaborative task, as well as a configuration setting, causing the system to operate in a takeover mode. The system then launches, exclusively in one workgroup processor, a workgroup including wavefronts configured to execute the collaborative task.
