Abstract:
Embodiments are generally directed to a scalable memory interface for a graphical processor unit. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a graphical processing unit (GPU) including multiple autonomous engines; a common memory interface for the autonomous engines; and a memory management unit for the common memory interface, the memory management unit including multiple engine modules, wherein each of the engine modules includes a translation-lookaside buffer (TLB) that is dedicated to providing address translation for memory requests for a respective autonomous engine of the plurality of autonomous engines, and a TLB miss tracking mechanism that provides tracking for the respective autonomous engine.
