    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to providing a secure address translation service. An embodiment of a system includes memory for storage of data, an IOMMU coupled to the memory, and a host-to-device link to couple the IOMMU with one or more devices and to operate as a translation agent on behalf of one or more devices in connection with memory operations relating to the memory, including receiving a translated request from a discrete device via the host-to-device link specifying a memory operation and a physical address within the memory pertaining to the memory operation, determining page access permissions assigned to a context of the discrete device for a physical page of the memory within which the physical address resides, allowing the memory operation to proceed when the page access permissions permit the memory operation, and blocking the memory operation when the page access permissions do not permit the memory operation.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods sharing memory circuitry between processor memory circuitry and accelerator memory circuitry in each of a plurality of peer-to-peer connected accelerator units. Each of the accelerator units includes virtual-to-physical address translation circuitry and migration circuitry. The virtual-to-physical address translation circuitry in each accelerator unit includes pages for each of at least some of the plurality of accelerator units. The migration circuitry causes the transfer of data between the processor memory circuitry and the accelerator memory circuitry in each of the plurality of accelerator circuits. The migration circuitry migrates and evicts data to/from accelerator memory circuitry based on statistical information associated with accesses to at least one of: processor memory circuitry or accelerator memory circuitry in one or more peer accelerator circuits. Thus, the processor memory circuitry and accelerator memory circuitry may be dynamically allocated to advantageously minimize system latency attributable to data access operations.

    Abstract: A system for tracking memory access patterns to be used in making data placement and migration policies. The system includes a processing unit and a system memory. The system memory includes a local memory and a remote memory, each of which having mapped thereon, a plurality of memory pages. Each of the plurality of memory pages corresponds to one or more physical addresses. A set of attributes for each memory page is stored in a physical attribute table (PAT). The PAT is looked up and the attributes updated when a memory access is detected. Attributes stored in the PAT are used to control the movement of memory pages between the local memory and the remote memory. When the attributes in the PAT indicate a remote memory page is being accessed frequently by the processing unit, the remote memory page is moved from the remote memory to the local memory.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to providing a secure address translation service. An embodiment of a system includes a memory for storage of data, an Input/Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU) coupled to the memory via a host-to-device link the IOMMU to perform operations, comprising receiving a memory access request from a remote device via a host-to-device link, wherein the memory access request comprises a host physical address (HPA) that identifies a physical address within the memory pertaining to the memory access request and a first message authentication code (MAC), generating a second message authentication code (MAC) using the host physical address received with the memory access request and a private key associated with the remote device, and performing at least one of allowing the memory access to proceed when the first MAC and the second MAC match and the HPA is not in an invalidation tracking table (ITT) maintained by the IOMMU; or blocking the memory operation when the first MAC and the second MAC do not match.
