Obtains the free and total memory sizes of an app with specified attributes, excluding the memory size reserved for the system.

C Prototype

aclError aclrtGetMemInfo(aclrtMemAttr attr, size_t *free, size_t *total)

Python Function

free, total, ret = acl.rt.get_mem_info(attr)

Parameter	Input/Output	Description
attr	Input	Memory attribute value to be queried. The value is of the int type. For details, see aclrtMemAttr.

Return Value	Description
free	Int, free memory size of the corresponding attribute, in bytes.
total	Int, total memory size of the corresponding attribute, in bytes.
ret	Int, error code. 0 on success; else, failure.

Before calling this API, you must specify the device for computation (for example, call acl.rt.set_device to specify the device for computation). Therefore, the device ID is not displayed in this API.

Select the memory of a specified attribute based on hardware. Otherwise, the free memory size and total memory size output by this API call are both 0.
Atlas A2 training products/Atlas A2 inference products
Select the memory of a specified attribute based on hardware. Otherwise, the free memory size and total memory size output by this API call are both 0.

If on-chip memory is queried, the system automatically queries the DDR memory because the device does not have on-chip memory. For example, the system queries ACL_DDR_MEM instead of ACL_HBM_MEM, and ACL_DDR_MEM_HUGE instead of ACL_HBM_MEM_HUGE.
