recently I'm testing the Graphic memory limit on android device using adreno GPU. and i find that gpu and cpu share the memory with no limit, gpu can use all available memory of device(about 1.7 G), is there any document about this topic?
Is there any limit on the graphics memory size of android device?

Hi,
We didn't get your question. Our answer is in the assumption that the question is that if a GPU/CPU is shared by a single process?
There is no restriction for a process to use the whole available memory(RAM) excluding the critical OS files in memory.
Page Fault Exception technique is used to allocate the memory for a process. If the system ran out of memory to allocate a new page for a process, one of the Page Replacement Algorithms is used to allocate the memory.
