Abstract

A request to provide an application with direct memory access to data stored at an external memory address of an external memory is received. Responsive to determining that the external memory address is not registered in a cache, the data is copied from the external memory address to a first internal memory address within the internal memory. A first cache line, within the cache, associated with the external memory address is updated to include a reference to the first internal memory address. The data is provided from the internal memory to the application.
