Περίληψη: The proliferation of heterogeneous computing platforms necessitates a manageable programming model to ensure widespread adoption. A key component of this is a shared unified address space between the heterogeneous units to obtain virtual memory's programmability benefits. To this end, the authors explore how to design memory management units (MMUs), critical hardware support for unified address spaces, on heterogeneous systems (namely, CPUs and GPUs). This article sets the foundation for reasoning about GPU MMUs and shows how they must be carefully codesigned with warp schedulers and the overall memory hierarchy. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
