Abstract
A method includes searching storage media of a computing appliance for application-specific configuration files by executing a configuration utility from a non-transitory storage medium of the computing appliance, upon finding an application-specific configuration file, directing a graphics processing unit (GPU) driver to partition a portion of GPU random access memory (RAM) as cache, and loading data specified in the configuration file to the cache portion partitioned in the GPU RAM.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- searching storage media of a computing appliance for application-specific configuration files by executing a configuration utility from a non-transitory storage medium of the computing appliance;
- upon finding an application-specific configuration file, directing a graphics processing unit (GPU) driver to partition a portion of GPU random access memory (RAM) as cache;
- and
- loading data specified in the configuration file to the cache portion partitioned in the GPU RAM.
