Hello Guys !
Do you know if it is possible to program the dma to speed up the execution of the programs that manage the transfer of data between memory devices.
For "programs that manage the transfer of data between memory devices" I mean dd(1), cp(1), grep(1), find(1) and so on.
The question is due to the fact that this programs are much slow. I'm not looking for stratagems (using the numerous options of these programs) or software mechanisms but only to understand if the problem could be solved at a low level.
So I'm only trying to undrstand if it is possible to channel the all power of the DMA when these programs are used.
Detailed explanations are welcome also with possible configuration code examples.
Thanks in advance.
Bye !
