Abstract
A device compiler and linker is configured to optimize program code of a co-processor enabled application by resolving generic memory access operations within that program code to target specific memory spaces. In situations where a generic memory access operation cannot be resolved and may target constant memory, constant variables associated with those generic memory access operations are transferred to reside in global memory.
