Device memory management for dpnp arrays on Intel CPUs and GPUs. Use when a dpnp script grows in memory until it fails, when a dataset does not fit in device memory, when an array turns out to be on a different device than expected, or when a loop allocates a new array on every iteration. Covers USM allocation, inspecting placement and queues with dpctl, reusing an output buffer, chunking a workload larger than the device, and the tools that report device memory use.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# dpnp memory and device placement ## Purpose Answers where a `dpnp` array lives, how much room the device has, and how to keep a long-running script from filling it. `dpnp` arrays are allocated in SYCL unified shared memory on a device, not on the CPU heap the way NumPy arrays are, so the questions that matter are different: which device, whose queue, and when the allocation is released. Prefer this skill over guessing from symptoms — a script that slows down over hours, an out-of-memory error, or a GPU that turns out to have been a CPU all along are all answered by reading state the runtime already exposes. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when: - Memory use climbs over the life of a script or a notebook session. - A dataset is larger than the device and has to be processed in pieces. - The user needs to confirm which device or queue an array is on. - A tight loop allocates a new array per iteration. - The user asks how to see device memory use from outside Python. Do **not** use this skill for host-side NumPy memory questions, for file I/O (that is `dpnp-io`), or to decide whether `dpnp` is worth using at all. ## Quick Start ```python import dpnp …

How to install
mdr add intel/skills/dpnp-memory@sha256:0351d66079ba8548The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
