Abstract
Various embodiments are presented herein that may allow an application direct access to graphical processing unit memory. An apparatus and a computer-implemented method may include accessing allocated graphical processing unit memory of a second resource via a link from a first resource. The allocated graphical processing unit memory may be mapped into one or more page tables of a central processing unit. A virtual address of the graphical processing unit memory from the one or more page tables of the central processing unit may be sent to the application.
