- hipEventReleaseToSystem : Perform a system-scope release operation when the event is recorded.  This will make both Coherent and Non-Coherent host memory visible to other agents in the system, but may involve heavyweight operations such as cache flushing.  Coherent memory will typically use lighter-weight in-kernel synchronization mechanisms such as an atomic operation and thus does not need to use hipEventReleaseToSystem.
- hipEventDisableTiming: Events created with this flag would not record profiling data and provide best performance if used for synchronization.
Note, for HIP Events used in kernel dispatch using hipExtLaunchKernelGGL/hipExtLaunchKernel, events passed in the API are not explicitly recorded and should only be used to get elapsed time for that specific launch.
In case events are used across multiple dispatches, for example, start and stop events from different hipExtLaunchKernelGGL/hipExtLaunchKernel calls, they will be treated as invalid unrecorded events, HIP will throw error "hipErrorInvalidHandle" from hipEventElapsedTime.
### Summary and Recommendations:
- Coherent host memory is the default and is the easiest to use since the memory is visible to the CPU at typical synchronization points. This memory allows in-kernel synchronization commands such as threadfence_system to work transparently.
