A direct memory access (DMA) controller issuing memory copy operations on behalf of a shader at a parallel processor stops issuing copy operations upon a context switch at the shader for a wave. The DMA controller or a trap handler associated with the shader saves the incomplete copy operations to a region of global memory, from which the incomplete operations are restored upon a context resume for the wave.
