Embodiment Construction
[0017] The present invention relates to techniques for graphics processing, and more particularly to techniques for prefetch and prebackup signaling from a graphics processing unit for avoiding page faults in a virtual memory system.
[0018] A modern operating system (OS) running on a central processing unit (CPU) typically uses a virtual memory scheme to allocate memory to the multiple programs operating on the CPU. Virtual memory is a memory management technique that virtualizes a computer system's physical memory (eg, RAM, disk storage, etc.) such that application requirements refer to only one set of memory (ie, virtual memory). Virtual memory consists of contiguous address spaces that map to locations in physical memory. In this way, segments of physical memory are "hidden" from application programs, which can instead interact with contiguous blocks of virtual memory. Contiguous blocks in virtual memory are usually arranged into "pages." Each page is some fixed-length ...
