  • Methods and apparatus for implementing cache policies in a graphics processing unit
    Patent number: 11610281
    Abstract: A method of processing a workload in a graphics processing unit (GPU) may include detecting a work item of the workload in the GPU, determining a cache policy for the work item, and operating at least a portion of a cache memory hierarchy in the GPU for at least a portion of the work item based on the cache policy. The work item may be detected based on information received from an application and/or monitoring one or more performance counters by a driver and/or hardware detection logic. The method may further include monitoring one or more performance counters, wherein the cache policy for the work item may be determined and/or changed based on the one or more performance counters. The cache policy for the work item may be selected based on a runtime learning model.
