Description
Suggestion Description
With hipObject today, we're bound to allocating in GPU memory (specifically hipObjectBufRegister() which calls hipMalloc.)
It'd be a convenient testing vehicle for the library, our users, and storage vendors if they had the option to register memory with standard CPU RAM buffer on a standard client machine (no AMD GPU available, no ROCm software stack).
Ask: Make it possible as an option to allocate CPU memory for S3oRDMA transfers, potentially using hipHostMalloc or malloc.
