Network cache injection for coherent GPUs
Methods, devices, and systems for GPU cache injection. A GPU compute node includes a network interface controller (NIC) which includes NIC receiver circuitry which can receive data for processing on the GPU, NIC transmitter circuitry which can send the data to a main memory of the GPU compute node and which can send coherence information to a coherence directory of the GPU compute node based on the data. The GPU compute node also includes a GPU which includes GPU receiver circuitry which can receive the coherence information; GPU processing circuitry which can determine, based on the coherence information, whether the data satisfies a heuristic; and GPU loading circuitry which can load the data into a cache of the GPU from the main memory if on the data satisfies the heuristic.
