Abstract
In various examples, systems and methods are disclosed that relate to linking and performing direct memory access (DMA) transfers. In one example, an accelerator can generate data associated with a descriptor that represents multiple DMA transfers associated with a plurality of DMA transfer types. The accelerator can provide the data associated with the descriptor to a device (or group of devices) involved in performing the DMA transfers as a set of linked DMA transfers. In response to receiving the data associated with the descriptor, the device(s) that receive the data associated with the descriptor can be configured to perform DMA transfers and allow for movement of the data specified by the descriptor to be moved from source memory to destination memory.
