Abstract
Disclosed herein are techniques associated with a Direct Memory Access (DMA) engine that can include a data generation module. The DMA engine can receive, from a processing entity, a particular type of write command with an indicator to write a data pattern to an address. Upon receipt of the particular type of write command, the DMA engine can generate, using a data generation module of the DMA engine, the data pattern to be written to the address. The processing entity can be Central Processing Unit (CPU) including a core configured to process serial commands. The DMA engine can be disposed on a same die as a processing entity or a network interface port.
