Abstract: Various embodiments include techniques for accessing extended memory in a parallel processing system via a high-bandwidth path to extended memory residing on a central processing unit. The disclosed extended memory system extends the directly addressable high-bandwidth memory local to a parallel processing system and avoids the performance penalties associated with low-bandwidth system memory. As a result, execution threads that are highly parallelizable and access a large memory space execute with increased performance on a parallel processing system relative to prior approaches.
