In linux kernel since version 2.6.27 (release Date: 2008-10-09)
The GRU is a hardware resource located in the system chipset. The GRU
contains memory that can be mmapped into the user address space. This memory is
used to communicate with the GRU to perform functions such as load/store,
scatter/gather, bcopy, AMOs, etc. The GRU is directly accessed by user
instructions using user virtual addresses. GRU instructions (ex., bcopy) use
user virtual addresses for operands.
If you are not running on a SGI UV system, say N.
