An embodiment of an electronic processing system may include an application processor, system memory communicatively coupled to the application processor, a graphics processor communicatively coupled to the application processor, graphics memory communicatively coupled to the graphics processor, and persistent storage media communicatively coupled to the application processor and the graphics processor to store one or more graphics assets, wherein the graphics processor is to access the one or more graphics asset mapped from the persistent storage media. The persistent storage media may include a low latency, high capacity, and byte-addressable nonvolatile memory. The one or more graphics assets may include one or more of a mega-texture and terrain data. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Graphics memory extended with nonvolatile memory

Examples may include techniques for persistent memory virtualization. Persistent memory maintained at one or more memory devices coupled with a host computing device may be allocated and assigned to a virtual machine (VM) hosted by the host computing device. The allocated persistent memory based on a file based virtual memory to be used by the VM. An extended page table (EPT) may be generated to map physical memory pages of the one or more memory devices to virtual logical blocks of the file based virtual memory. Elements of the VM then enumerate a presence of the assigned allocated persistent memory, create a virtual disk abstraction for the file based virtual memory and use the EPT to directly access the assigned allocated persistent memory.
