The maximum capacity of a very fast memory in a system that requires very fast memory access times is increased by adding a memory with remote access times that are slower than required, and then moving infrequently accessed data from the memory with the very fast access times to the memory with the slow access times.

Processing system that increases the capacity of a very fast memory

The total memory space that is logically available to a processor in a general-purpose graphics processing unit (GPGPU) module is increased to accommodate terabyte-sized amounts of data by utilizing the memory space in an external memory module, and by further utilizing a portion of the memory space in a number of other external memory modules.

Processing system that increases the memory capacity of a GPGPU

A programmable device receives commands from a processor and, based on the commands: identifies a root node in a graph; identifies nodes in the graph that are neighbors of the root node; identifies nodes in the graph that are neighbors of the neighbors; retrieves data associated with the root node; retrieves data associated with at least a subset of the nodes that are neighbors of the root node and that are neighbors of the neighbor nodes; and writes the data that is retrieved into a memory.
