Publication number: 20230409486Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Jerome F. DULUK, Jr., Cameron BUSCHARDT, Sherry CHEUNG, James Leroy DEMING, Samuel H. DUNCAN, Lucien DUNNING, Robert GEORGE, Arvind GOPALAKRISHNAN, Mark HAIRGROVE, Chenghuan JIA, John MASHEY

Publication number: 20210294707Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to detect memory errors and isolate or migrate partitions on a parallel processing unit using an application programming interface to facilitate parallel computing, such as CUDA. In at least one embodiment, interrupts are intercepted and processed on a graphics processing unit indicating a memory error for one or more partitions, and a policy is applied to isolate that memory error from other partitions.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2020Publication date: September 23, 2021Inventors: Jonathon Stuart Ramsay Evans, Naveen Cherukuri, Jerome Francis Duluk, JR., Shailendra Singh, Vaibhav Vyas, Wishwesh Gandhi, Arvind Gopalakrishnan, Manas Mandal

Patent number: 11106261Abstract: Integrated circuits, or computer chips, typically include multiple hardware components (e.g. memory, processors, etc.) operating under a shared power (e.g. thermal) constraint that is sourced by one or more power sources for the chip. Typically, the hardware components can be individually configured to operate at certain states (e.g. to operate at a certain frequency by setting a clock speed for a clock dedicated to the hardware component). Thus, each hardware component can be configured to operate at an operating point that is determined to be optimal, usually in terms of achieving some desired goal for a specific application (e.g. frame rates for gaming, etc.). In the context of chip hardware that operates under a shared power/thermal constraint, a method, computer readable medium, and system are provided for determining the optimal operating point for the chip that takes into consideration both performance of the chip and power consumption by the chip.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2018Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: NVIDIA CORPORATIONInventors: Aniket Naik, Siddharth Bhargav, Bardia Zandian, Narayan Kulshrestha, Amit Pabalkar, Arvind Gopalakrishnan, Justin Tai, Sachin Satish Idgunji
