Detailed Description
A memory pool encapsulates physical storage on an agent along with a memory access model.
A memory pool encapsulates a physical partition of an agent's memory system along with a memory access model. Division of a single memory system into separate pools allows querying each partition's access path properties (see hsa_amd_agent_memory_pool_get_info). Allocations from a pool are preferentially bound to that pool's physical partition. Binding to the pool's preferential physical partition may not be possible or persistent depending on the system's memory policy and/or state which is beyond the scope of HSA APIs.
For example, a multi-node NUMA memory system may be represented by multiple pool's with each pool providing size and access path information for the partition it represents. Allocations from a pool are preferentially bound to the pool's partition (which in this example is a NUMA node) while following its memory access model. The actual placement may vary or migrate due to the system's NUMA policy and state, which is beyond the scope of HSA APIs.
