mindspore.runtime.PluggableAllocator

class mindspore.runtime.PluggableAllocator(path_to_so_file, alloc_fn_name, free_fn_name)[source]

Receive a .so file via ctypes, and dynamically load the alloc and free functions within it. It needs to be used in conjunction with mindspore.runtime.MemPool and mindspore.runtime.use_mem_pool() to take over the memory allocation and free in the MindSpore memory pool.

Warning

This is currently supported only in unix OSs.
