TTM limits system memory allocations to 1/2 system memory for regular
processes, or 3/4 for privileged processes.


For compute we opted to make the GART bigger than system memory to allow
for fragmentation. However, we argued that you don't really need GART
for most buffers anyways, since they are never accessed in VMID 0. They
need to be mapped in some VM page table, but never in the GART table. So
I think the long-term goal should be to remove the need to allocate GART
addresses for system memory BOs. Then you could get away with a quite
small GART size.


Regards,

  Felix
