Description
To improve performance of , the Memory Allocator uses per-thread memory pools where buffers may be collected for fast reuse. The
Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
mkl_free_buffers
function frees unused memory allocated by the Memory Allocator.See the Developer Guide for details.

You should call functions. In large applications, if you suspect that the memory may get insufficient, you may call this function earlier, but anticipate a drop in performance that may occur due to reallocation of buffers for subsequent calls to functions.
