Small APUs(i.e., consumer, embedded products) usually have a small carveout device memory which can't satisfy most compute workloads memory allocation requirements. We can't even run a Basic MNIST Example with a default 512MB carveout. https://github.com/pytorch/examples/tree/main/mnist. Error Log: "torch.cuda.OutOfMemoryError: HIP out of memory. Tried to allocate 84.00 MiB. GPU 0 has a total capacity of 512.00 MiB of which 0 bytes is free. Of the allocated memory 103.83 MiB is allocated by PyTorch, and 22.17 MiB is reserved by PyTorch but unallocated" Though we can change BIOS settings to enlarge carveout size, which is inflexible and may bring complaint. On the other hand, the memory resource can't be effectively used between host and device. The solution is MI300A approach, i.e., let VRAM allocations go to GTT. Then device and host can flexibly and effectively share memory resource. v2: Report local_mem_size_private as 0.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
