Definition
Unified memory architecture (UMA) is a system where the CPU and GPU share a single pool of memory. This allows for faster data transfer between the two processors and potentially higher memory capacities accessible to both.
Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)
Highlighted as a key advantage of Apple’s M-series chips, enabling MacBook Pros to offer benefits similar to both fast graphics memory and abundant system memory, making them very suitable for ML/AI tasks.
