Abstract: A copy subsystem within a processor includes a set of logical copy engines and a set of physical copy engines. Each logical copy engine corresponds to a different command stream implemented by a device driver, and each logical copy engine is configured to receive copy commands via the corresponding command stream. When a logical copy engine receives a copy command, the logical copy engine distributes the command, or one or more subcommands derived from the command, to one or more of the physical copy engines. The physical copy engines can perform multiple copy operations in parallel with one another, thereby allowing the bandwidth of the communication link(s) to be saturated.
