Por que o CudaFree não parece liberar memória?

Eu estou tentando alocar memória do dispositivo, copiar para ele, executar os cálculos na GPU, copiar os resultados de volta e, em seguida, liberar a memória do dispositivo que eu aloquei. Eu queria ter certeza de que não ultrapassaria o limite e queria ver se teria memória suficiente no espaço de memória compartilhada para despejar alguns arrays.

Quando aloco a memória do dispositivo, não há erros sendo retornados. Quando eu usocudaMemGetInfo para verificar a quantidade de memória alocada, parece umcudaMalloc não alocou memória alguma. Além disso, quando tento liberar a memória, parece que apenas um ponteiro é liberado.

Estou usando o matlabMexfunction interface para configurar a memória da GPU e iniciar o kernel. Neste ponto, eu nem estou chamando para o kernel e apenas retornando uma matriz de unidade para os resultados.

Eu sinto que há algo óbvio que estou perdendo. Alguém pode ajudar a explicar o que está acontecendo?

EDIT: plataforma é o Windows 7 com uma placa GPU Tesla C2050.
