Nvidia patents tool to show where computer instructions are stored
Nvidia has filed a patent for a processor feature that lets software ask the hardware to reveal the memory addresses of specific tasks. This information is then passed to users or other programs through a standard software interface.
In the filing’s own words
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to cause one or more storage locations of one or more scheduled instructions to be indicated to one or more users. In at least one embodiment, one or more storage locations of one or more scheduled instructions are caused to be indicated to one or more users based on, for example, an application programming interface (API).
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A processor, comprising: one or more circuits to perform an application programming interface (API) to cause one or more storage locations of one or more scheduled instructions to be indicated to one or more users.
