Abstract

To reduce direct memory access (DMA) overhead, a tensorized descriptor can be used to generate a series of memory descriptors to perform a series of DMA data transfers. The tensorized descriptor may include attributes such as a stride and a memory descriptor template, which can be used to generate the series of memory descriptors. Hence, instead of having to retrieve each of the memory descriptors to perform the series of DMA transfers, a single tensorized descriptor can be retrieved to perform a series of data transfers.
