System RAM

≈ 89.6 GB/s theoretical ceiling (MT/s × 8 bytes × channels). DDR5’s two 32-bit subchannels count as one channel.

CPU

Used for CPU layers/experts and the -t flag. A reference platform fills its maximum channels and speed; set what you actually populated.

Advanced: reserves, bandwidth, workload, models

Defaults are editorial planning choices, not measurements: 1 GiB runtime + 0.5 GiB margin per device, 75% of unified memory, 8 GiB RAM for the OS, a vendor “24 GB” treated as 24 GiB (enter your driver’s available VRAM to override), 5 t/s minimum speed (research editorial default). Memory ledger
