Coherent memory

Hardware

A single shared memory pool across CPU and GPUs where all cores read and write the same memory without copies. This is the model of NVIDIA's Grace-based systems (e.g. the DGX Station's 748GB) and of Apple's unified memory: the LLM lives in one place, with no copies between RAM and VRAM.
