Abstract

One or more copy commands are scheduled for locating one or more pages of data in a local memory of a graphics processing unit (GPU) for more efficient access to the pages of data during rendering. A first processing unit that is coupled to a first GPU receives a notification that an access request count has reached a specified threshold. The first processing unit schedules a copy command to copy the first page of data to a first memory circuit of the first GPU from a second memory circuit of the second GPU. The copy command is included within a GPU command stream.
