BIASING CACHE REPLACEMENT FOR OPTIMIZED GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT (GPU) PERFORMANCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240320783 titled 'BIASING CACHE REPLACEMENT FOR OPTIMIZED GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT (GPU) PERFORMANCE
The abstract of this patent application discusses methods and devices for graphics processing, specifically focusing on a graphics processing unit (GPU) that can perform cache line replacements and adjust cache line orders based on cache presence.
- The apparatus can replace at least one cache line in a first cache and detect if that cache line is present in a second cache.
- Based on the presence of the cache line in the second cache, the apparatus can adjust the order of a set of cache lines in the second cache and output an indication of the adjusted order.
- In multi-GPU systems, the first cache may prioritize remote GPU lines in cache line replacement, giving them higher priority.
Potential Applications: - Graphics processing units - Multi-GPU systems - Cache management in computer systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient cache line replacement - Improved cache management in multi-GPU systems
Benefits: - Enhanced graphics processing performance - Optimized cache utilization - Improved system efficiency
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Cache Management System for Graphics Processing Units" This technology could be utilized in gaming consoles, graphic design workstations, and data centers to enhance graphics processing capabilities and improve overall system performance.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this cache management system improve graphics processing performance? 2. What are the key advantages of prioritizing remote GPU lines in cache line replacement?
Original Abstract Submitted
aspects presented herein relate to methods and devices for graphics processing including an apparatus, e.g., a graphics processing unit (gpu). the apparatus may perform a replacement for at least one first cache line in a first cache. the apparatus may also detect that the at least one first cache line is present in a second cache. further, the apparatus may adjust, based on the at least one first cache line being present in the second cache, an order of a set of first cache lines in the second cache, where the at least one first cache line is in the set of first cache lines in the second cache. the apparatus may also output an indication of the adjusted order of the set of first cache lines in the second cache. in another aspect, in multi-gpu systems, first cache may bias remote gpu lines giving them higher priority in replacement.
