System and method for independent invalidation on a per engine basis

摘要

A shared resource management system and method are described. In one embodiment a shared resource management system includes a plurality of engines, a shared resource, and a shared resource management unit. In one exemplary implementation the shared resource is a memory and the shared resource management unit is a memory management unit (MMU). The plurality of engines perform processing. The shared resource supports the processing. For example a memory store information and instructions for the engines. The shared resource management unit independently caches and invalidates page table entries on a per engine basis.
