There are multiple ways to use CUDA memory, pytorch for example will allocate some memory for tensors, but will also reserve some for its computation, so reserved = (allocated + cached). It's important to look at both because the performance we observe depends on that reserved memory. that's also why sometimes you can load a model but OOM when you run it.
Finally the used~= (resrved + non-releasable) is technically what you'll observe on nvidia-smi, the most external view of memory usage.
