Abstract
Memory is allocated for use by a graphics processor. Available portions of system memory are identified by requesting an amount of system memory from an operating system and receiving locations of the available portions from the operating system. Those available portions are then allocated for use by the graphics processor based at least in part on the devices in which the available portions are located.
