Abstract
Techniques to reduce direct memory access (DMA) overhead may include retrieving an address translation descriptor from a descriptor queue of a DMA engine, and updating an address translation table in the DMA engine with address translation information obtained from the location indicated by the address translation descriptor. A set of memory descriptors is then obtained from the descriptor queue. The set of memory descriptors can be processed by determining that the addresses in the set of memory descriptors are to be translated using the address translation table, and performing memory access operations by using the address translation table to translate the addresses in the set of memory descriptors.
