Dynamic kernel memory space allocation
Abstract
A processing unit includes one or more processor cores and a set of registers to store configuration information for the processing unit. The processing unit also includes a coprocessor configured to receive a request to modify a memory allocation for a kernel concurrently with the kernel executing on the at least one processor core. The coprocessor is configured to modify the memory allocation by modifying the configuration information stored in the set of registers. In some cases, initial configuration information is provided to the set of registers by a different processing unit. The initial configuration information is stored in the set of registers prior to the coprocessor modifying the configuration information.
