    Abstract: Techniques are provided by which memory pages may be migrated among PPU memories in a multi-PPU system. According to the techniques, a UVM driver determines that a particular memory page should change ownership state and/or be migrated between one PPU memory and another PPU memory. In response to this determination, the UVM driver initiates a peer transition sequence to cause the ownership state and/or location of the memory page to change. Various peer transition sequences involve modifying mappings for one or more PPU, and copying a memory page from one PPU memory to another PPU memory. Several steps in peer transition sequences may be performed in parallel for increased processing speed.

    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention is a parallel processing unit (PPU) that includes one or more streaming multiprocessors (SMs) and implements a replay unit per SM. Upon detecting a page fault associated with a memory transaction issued by a particular SM, the corresponding replay unit causes the SM, but not any unaffected SMs, to cease issuing new memory transactions. The replay unit then stores the faulting memory transaction and any faulting in-flight memory transaction in a replay buffer. As page faults are resolved, the replay unit replays the memory transactions in the replay buffer—removing successful memory transactions from the replay buffer—until all of the stored memory transactions have successfully executed. Advantageously, the overall performance of the PPU is improved compared to conventional PPUs that, upon detecting a page fault, stop performing memory transactions across all SMs included in the PPU until the fault is resolved.

    Abstract: A technique for simultaneously executing multiple tasks, each having an independent virtual address space, involves assigning an address space identifier (ASID) to each task and constructing each virtual memory access request to include both a virtual address and the ASID. During virtual to physical address translation, the ASID selects a corresponding page table, which includes virtual to physical address mappings for the ASID and associated task. Entries for a translation look-aside buffer (TLB) include both the virtual address and ASID to complete each mapping to a physical address. Deep scheduling of tasks sharing a virtual address space may be implemented to improve cache affinity for both TLB and data caches.

    Abstract: A system for managing virtual memory. The system includes a first processing unit configured to execute a first operation that references a first virtual memory address. The system also includes a first memory management unit (MMU) associated with the first processing unit and configured to generate a first page fault upon determining that a first page table that is stored in a first memory unit associated with the first processing unit does not include a mapping corresponding to the first virtual memory address. The system further includes a first copy engine associated with the first processing unit. The first copy engine is configured to read a first command queue to determine a first mapping that corresponds to the first virtual memory address and is included in a first page state directory. The first copy engine is also configured to update the first page table to include the first mapping.
