Publication number: 20250217921Abstract: The present invention facilitates efficient and effective utilization of unified virtual addresses across multiple components. In one exemplary implementation, an address allocation process comprises: establishing space for managed pointers across a plurality of memories, including allocating one of the managed pointers with a first portion of memory associated with a first one of a plurality of processors; and performing a process of automatically managing accesses to the managed pointers across the plurality of processors and corresponding memories. The automated management can include ensuring consistent information associated with the managed pointers is copied from the first portion of memory to a second portion of memory associated with a second one of the plurality of processors based upon initiation of an accesses to the managed pointers from the second one of the plurality of processors.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2024Publication date: July 3, 2025Inventors: Stephen Jones, Vivek Kini, Piotr Jaroszynski, Mark Hairgrove, David Fontaine, Cameron Buschardt, Lucien Dunning, John Hubbard

Patent number: 12340259Abstract: Various embodiments include a parallel processing computer system that provides multiple memory synchronization domains in a single parallel processor to reduce unneeded synchronization operations. During execution, one execution kernel may synchronize with one or more other execution kernels by processing outstanding memory references. The parallel processor tracks memory references for each domain to each portion of local and remote memory. During synchronization, the processor synchronizes the memory references for a specific domain while refraining from synchronizing memory references for other domains. As a result, synchronization operations between kernels complete in a reduced amount of time relative to prior approaches.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2021Date of Patent: June 24, 2025Assignee: NVIDIA CORPORATIONInventors: Michael Allen Parker, Debajit Bhattacharya, David Fontaine, Shirish Gadre, Wishwesh Anil Gandhi, Olivier Giroux, Hemayet Hossain, Ronny M. Krashinsky, Ze Long, Raymond Hoi Man Wong
