    摘要: A method of address translation in a computing system providing direct memory access (DMA) by way of one or more remote memory management units (MMUs) is provided. The method comprises intercepting a request for a first DMA operation forwarded by a first device to a second device; and translating a guest address included in the request to a first address according to a mapping referencing a memory frame in a memory of the second device. A local MMU increments a first reference count indicating number of active DMA operations directed to the memory frame and a second reference count indicating number of remote MMUs that have mapped the memory frame.

    摘要: A method for facilitating direct memory access in a computing system in response to a request to transfer data is provided. The method comprises selecting a thread for transferring the data, wherein the thread executes on a processing core within the computing system; providing the thread with the request, wherein the request comprises information for carrying out a data transfer; and transferring the data according to the request. The method may further comprise: coordinating the request with a memory management unit, such that virtual addresses may be used to transfer data; invalidating a cache line associated with the source address or flushing a cache line associated with the destination address, if requested. Multiple threads can be selected to transfer data based on their proximity to the destination address.
