  • Patent number: 10884928
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for caching data not frequently accessed. One of the methods includes receiving a request for data from a component of a device, determining that the data satisfies an infrequency condition, in response to determining that the data satisfies the infrequency condition: determining a target cache level which defines a cache level within a cache level hierarchy of a particular cache at which to store infrequently accessed data, the target cache level being lower than a highest cache level in the cache level hierarchy, requesting and receiving the data from a memory that is not a cache of the device, and storing the data in a level of the particular cache that is at or below the target cache level in the cache level hierarchy, and providing the data to the component.

  • Patent number: 10481811
    Abstract: An example method includes during execution of a software application by a processor, receiving, by a copy processor separate from the processor, a request for an asynchronous data copy operation to copy data within a memory accessible by the copy processor, wherein the request is received from a copy manager accessible by the software application in a user space of an operating system managing execution of the software application; in response to the request, initiating, by the copy processor, the asynchronous data copy operation; continuing execution of the software application by the processor; determining, by the copy processor, that the asynchronous data copy operation has completed; and in response to determining that the asynchronous copy operation has completed, selectively notifying, by the copy processor, the software application that the asynchronous copy operation has completed.

  • Patent number: 10216636
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for pre-fetching data. The methods, systems, and apparatus include actions of providing a request for data to an input-output device and receiving a set of memory addresses for the requested data. Additional actions include determining a subset of the memory addresses, providing a request for a processor to pre-fetch or inject data corresponding to the subset of the memory addresses, and receiving the requested data and the set of memory addresses. Additional actions include determining that the received data includes data for the subset of memory addresses that has been requested to be pre-fetched or injected, storing the data for the subset of memory addresses in a cache of the processor, and storing remaining data of the received data for the memory addresses in a main memory.
