While working on the project, we discovered that cudaMemcpy(HtoD) and (DtoH) takes long time.

so, we decided to use pinned memory instead of pageable memory ~~cudaHostAlloc();~~to improve its performance.

"cudaHostAlloc() will allocate pinned memory which is always stored in RAM and can be accessed by GPU's DMA(direct memory access) directly"

using pinned memory is 2 times faster than pageable memory
