The CPU and the GPU share access to some pages of memory. New Linux code helps the kernel keep track of memory holding data for the GPU. The management of video hardware has long been an area of ...

Memory management is a critical aspect of modern operating systems, ensuring efficient allocation and deallocation of system memory. Linux, as a robust and widely used operating system, employs ...

I'm hoping there are a few kernel hackers around here who might have some insights into this... I have a long standing habit of using "gutless wonder" ARM boards for desktop. Some work well, some work ...

In a surprising turn of events, an Nvidia engineer pushed a fix to the Linux kernel, resolving a performance regression seen on AMD integrated and dedicated GPU hardware (via Phoronix). Turns out, the ...

Support for unified memory across CPUs and GPUs in accelerated computing systems is the final piece of a programming puzzle that we have been assembling for about ten years now. Unified memory has a ...

Memory management on Linux systems is complicated. Seeing high usage doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a problem. There are other things you should also consider. Running out of memory on a Linux ...
