I’ve been wondering the same thing. Would be nice to have that support in the bios.
It seems like it’s true that it will dynamically allocate ram for the GPU as needed (or up to half of RAM maybe?), but a lot of the tools query the availability up front and fail.
On the plus side, enough people are interested in APUs that they’re working on shared ram issues. I saw this the other day:
The code is tiny, and saw one report that it worked on a 6800hs, but it’s definitely a bit of a hack, and specifically for pytorch.
I wouldn’t want to count on framework adding these options to the bios, so probably gonna have to cross our fingers that more support for shared ram gets more code soon.
I’m still unsure if the max dynamic allocation is half of system ram, or if that also gets changed on individual laptops, and I already feel like I’m making a lot of tradeoffs to support framework haha
