The return value of this function is a dictionary of statistics, each of which is a non-negative integer. Core statistics: - ``"allocated.{all,large_pool,small_pool}.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``: number of allocation requests received by the memory allocator. - ``"allocated_bytes.{all,large_pool,small_pool}.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``: amount of allocated memory. - ``"segment.{all,large_pool,small_pool}.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``: number of reserved segments from ``cudaMalloc()``. - ``"reserved_bytes.{all,large_pool,small_pool}.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``: amount of reserved memory. - ``"active.{all,large_pool,small_pool}.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``: number of active memory blocks. - ``"active_bytes.{all,large_pool,small_pool}.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``: amount of active memory. - ``"inactive_split.{all,large_pool,small_pool}.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``: number of inactive, non-releasable memory blocks. - ``"inactive_split_bytes.{all,large_pool,small_pool}.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``: amount of inactive, non-releasable memory. For these core statistics, values are broken down as follows. Pool type: - ``all``: combined statistics across all memory pools. - ``large_pool``: statistics for the large allocation pool (as of October 2019, for size >= 1MB allocations). - ``small_pool``: statistics for the small allocation pool (as of October 2019, for size < 1MB allocations). Metric type: - ``current``: current value of this metric. - ``peak``: maximum value of this metric. - ``allocated``: historical total increase in this metric. - ``freed``: historical total decrease in this metric. In addition to the core statistics, we also provide some simple event counters: - ``"num_alloc_retries"``: number of failed ``cudaMalloc`` calls that result in a cache flush and retry. - ``"num_ooms"``: number of out-of-memory errors thrown. The caching allocator can be configured via ENV to not split blocks larger than a defined size (see Memory Management section of the Cuda Semantics documentation). This helps avoid memory framentation but may have a performance penalty. Additional outputs to assist with tuning and evaluating impact: - ``"max_split_size"``: blocks above this size will not be split. - ``"oversize_allocations.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``: number of over-size allocation requests received by the memory allocator. - ``"oversize_segments.{current,peak,allocated,freed}"``: number of over-size reserved segments from ``cudaMalloc()``.
