Abstract
An embodiment of a graphics apparatus may include an embedded local memory, and a memory extender communicatively coupled to the embedded local memory to extend the embedded local memory. The memory extender may be configured to compress information and store the compressed information in the embedded local memory. Additionally, or alternatively, the memory extender may be configured to expose the embedded local memory for non-local access. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
Claims24
An electronic processing system, comprising:
- an application processor;
- persistent storage media communicatively coupled to the application processor;
- and
- a graphics subsystem communicatively coupled to the application processor, the graphics subsystem including:
- a local memory;
- and
- a memory extender communicatively coupled to the local memory to extend the local memory.
A graphics apparatus comprising:
- an embedded local memory;
- and
- a memory extender communicatively coupled to the embedded local memory to extend the embedded local memory.
A method of extending memory, comprising:
- embedding a local memory;
- and
- extending the embedded local memory.
At least one computer readable medium, comprising a set of instructions, which when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to:
