Abstract

See full text

The present invention facilitates efficient and effective utilization of unified virtual addresses across multiple components. In one exemplary implementation, an address allocation process comprises: establishing space for managed pointers across a plurality of memories, including allocating one of the managed pointers with a first portion of memory associated with a first one of a plurality of processors; and performing a process of automatically managing accesses to the managed pointers across the plurality of processors and corresponding memories. The automated management can include ensuring consistent information associated with the managed pointers is copied from the first portion of memory to a second portion of memory associated with a second one of the plurality of processors based upon initiation of an accesses to the managed pointers from the second one of the plurality of processors.
