Abstract:
A data processing system includes a main storage, an input/output memory management unit (IOMMU) coupled to the main storage, a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) device coupled to the IOMMU, and a mapper. The system is configured to allocate an amount of physical memory in the main storage and the IOMMU is configured to provide access to the main storage and to map a PCI address from the PCI device to a physical memory address within the main storage. The mapper is configured to perform a mapping between the allocated amount of physical memory of the main storage and a contiguous PCI address space. The IOMMU is further configured to translate PCI addresses of the contiguous PCI address space to the physical memory address within the main storage.
