An integrated GPU is not a small discrete GPU.

On unified-memory hardware, CPU and GPU already access the same physical memory. Treating that system like a discrete card can add unnecessary staging and copies.

lizard-native includes a UMA zero-copy path for supported integrated graphics. The design goal is simple: shared weights should stay shared, while the Direct3D 12 execution path remains explicit.

Hardware-aware inference starts by respecting the memory architecture you actually have.

Engineering fact: lizard-native includes a zero-copy path for unified-memory integrated GPUs so shared memory is treated as shared rather than copied as if discrete.
