GPU Device 0: "Graphics Device" on Pegasus does not support Unified Memory

It seems that the Device 0: “Graphics Device” (dGPU?) does not support Unified Memory, and I wonder to know if this is intentionally design or just a bug and will be fixed in the future. (e.g. cudaMallocManaged() call cannot work on “Device 0”)

I also test the sample codes provided by NVIDIA (e.g. CUDA, CUPTI), and there are some discrepancies between actual and the website info. (e.g. “Turing” Discrete GPUs (TU104 SXM2) - 130 TOPS connected to Xavier SoC over NVIDIA®NVLink™ (20 GB/s)) The sample code return “No Nvlink supported device found”, however, I supposed that CPU to dGPU is connected via NvLink (Please correct me if I am wrong), and the memory bandwidth results of Host<->Device, Device<->Device either on iGPU(>250 GB/s) or dGPU(>750 GB/s) cannot reach the theoretical values.

In addition, is there any APIs can directly transfer data from iGPU to dGPU and vice versa?
What is the best approach for memory management if there is no Unified Memory provided on dGPU?

The deviceQuery gives the following output:

Dear 454615,
Yes. Unified memory is not supported on dGPU.
For nvlink isssue, may I know which sample have tested?
If you are asking to transfer data from iGPU to dGPU, you may have to bring the data onto CPU using cudamemcpy calls in between. However, you can choose EGLStream to transfer frames from iGPU to dGPU to avoid unneccessary memcpy operations. You can choose pinned memory as unified memory is not available.
