Note hipHostMalloc (not hipHostAlloc or hipMallocHost).
- the hipHost* is used for all HIP APIs dealing with Host memory.
(including hipHostMalloc, hipHostFree, hipHostRegister,
hipHostUnregister, hipHostGetFlags, hipHostGetDevicePointer).
- hipMallocHost is consistent with "hipMalloc" for allocating device
memory. Enumerations hipHostMalloc* also used as optional
flags parm to hipHostMalloc.
Tracks device where memory is allocated, pinned-host or device, and
more.
Uses memory-range-based lookups - so pointers that exist anywhere in
the range of hostPtr + size will find the associated AmPointerInfo.
The insertions and lookups use a self-balancing binary tree and
should support O(logN) lookup speed.
Device property MaxSharedMemoryPerMultiprocessor set equal to totalGlobalMem (HIP path).
Reason: MaxSharedMemoryPerMultiprocessor should be as the same as group memory size. Group memory will not be paged out, so, the physical memory size = total shared memory size = group region size. NVCC path remains untouched: CUDA's device property MaxSharedMemoryPerMultiprocessor is reported.
hipify is updated as well.
