METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING UNIFIED VIRTUAL MEMORY

A method and apparatus for managing a unified virtual memory (UVM) are provided. The UVM is backed by a main processor memory and a coprocessor memory, and the method includes: checking properties of data blocks of the UVM used to execute a deep learning model; based on a first of the data blocks storing weight data of the deep learning model, storing the first data block in the main processor memory among the main processor memory and the coprocessor memory; and performing an operation of the deep learning model based on the first data block using a coprocessor while directly loading at least a portion of the first data block from the main processor memory into a cache memory of the coprocessor without migration of the first data block from the main processor memory to the coprocessor memory.
