    摘要: A method and apparatus for controlling state information retention determines at least a state information save or restore condition for at least one processing circuit such as one or more CPU or GPU cores or pipelines, in an integrated circuit. In response to determining the state information save or restore condition, the method and apparatus controls either or both of saving or restoring of state information for different virtual machines operating on the processing circuit, into corresponding on-die persistent passive variable resistance memory. The state information save or restore condition is a virtual machine level state information save or restore condition. State information for each of differing virtual machines is saved or restored from differing on-die passive variable resistance memory cells that are assigned on a per-virtual machine basis.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a computer system comprises a processor; a memory management module comprising a plurality of instructions executable on the processor; a memory coupled to the processor; and an input/output memory management unit (IOMMU) coupled to the memory. The IOMMU is configured to implement address translation and memory protection for memory operations sourced by one or more input/output (I/O) devices. The memory stores a command queue during use. The memory management module is configured to write one or more control commands to the command queue, and the IOMMU is configured to read the control commands from the command queue and execute the control commands.

    摘要: A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed for providing improved access to accelerated processing device compute resources to user mode applications. The functionality disclosed allows user mode applications to provide commands to an accelerated processing device without the need for kernel mode transitions in order to access a unified ring buffer. Instead, applications are each provided with their own buffers, which the accelerated processing device hardware can access to process commands. With full operating system support, user mode applications are able to utilize the accelerated processing device in much the same way as a CPU.

    摘要: A system is enabled for configuring an IOMMU to provide direct access to system memory data by at least one I/O device/peripheral. Further, the IOMMU is configured to pass a pointer to at least one I/O device without having to translate the pointer. Further, commands are sent from a process within a guest operating system (OS) directly to a peripheral without intervention from a hypervisor. Further, the IOMMU is configured to grant peripherals access permissions to memory blocks to maintain isolation among peripherals.
