the first issue is a MEM_SIZE.

made some tests on my laptop with nvidia and on AMD on super

according to this link:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/496980/cl_device_max_mem_alloc_size-looking-for-an-device-with-1gb/
"As has been pointed out in, e.g., this thread,
CL_DEVICE_MAX_MEM_ALLOC_SIZE should be the maximum size of memory
objects. The OpenCL specs demand that it is at least a quarter of the
total memory (which I find a severe restriction). However, NVIDIAs
(and Apple's) OpenCL implementations always return exactly that
quarter, even if you can create larger memory objects in practice, so
this looks more like a misinterpretation of the specs or a kind of
bug. "

some info here:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/478783/cuda-programming-and-performance/cl_device_max_mem_alloc_size-incorrect-/

tests shows that AMD treats it differently than nvidia. I coud'n find
on internet how exactly amd treats CL_DEVICE_MAX_MEM_ALLOC_SIZE, only
found this https://community.amd.com/thread/152028 but maybe this link
is not important

this bug will be hard to fix because we don't know how device behaves
and always something can be changed in the future

the second bug can be linked with MEM_SIZE | MEM_SIZE/4.
