The official source reports this update: b10817: sycl: attribute device allocations by site (GGML_SYCL_MEMTRACE). sycl: attribute device allocations by site (GGML_SYCL_MEMTRACE) ( #27631 ) define two new environment variables to better understand how much memory is being allocated, and when. This has been invaluable in inproving the --fit algorithm, and is likely to be useful when debugging other memory-related issues. -lv 4 will be required to enable the following: GGML_SYCL_MEMTRACE=1 will show per-site memory usage, updated whenever it increases by more than 64MiB. GGML_SYCL_MEMTRACE=2 will show every allocation and deallocation.
