Abstract
The example techniques described in this disclosure may be directed to interaction between a graphics processing unit (GPU) and a system memory. For example, the GPU may include a memory copy engine that handles tasks related to accessing data that is stored or is to be stored in the system memory. In addition, in some examples, the memory copy engine may perform additional tasks such as modification tasks to increase the performance of the GPU.
