     - `hipDrvGraphAddMemFreeNode`  creates a memory free node and adds it to a graph.
     - `hipDrvGraphExecMemcpyNodeSetParams`  sets the parameters for a memcpy node in the given graphExec.
     - `hipDrvGraphExecMemsetNodeSetParams`  sets the parameters for a memset node in the given graphExec.
