/**
  * @page memorymanager The Memory Manager
  * The compositor has its own MemoryManager. The goal of the MemoryManager is to manage the memory allocated by chunks.
  * During execution new chunks will be created [MemoryManager.allocateMemoryBuffer] When calculation is finished the MemoryBuffer will get the state [MemoryBufferState.COM_MB_AVAILABLE].
  * From now on other ExecutionGroup and NodeOperations may read from the MemoryBuffer.
  * The MemoryManager also has the capability to save MemoryBuffer's to disk in order to free some memory.
  *
  * @section S_MEM Memory manager
  * The memory manager synchronize and optimize data across devices.
  * Only one NodeOperation running on a device is able to write to a MemoryBuffer. This MemoryBuffer is only allocated on the main-device memory (CPU).
  * The MemoryBuffer.state will be [MemoryBufferState.COM_MB_ALLOCATED]. As soon as the chunk has been executed the state changes to [MemoryBufferState.COM_MB_AVAILABLE]. This MemoryBuffer can now be used as inputBuffer of ExecutionGroup's.
  * When needed the MemoryBuffer will be stored to a file. This will save memory that can be used by other tiles.
  * @subsection S_MEM_1 Step one
  * When a chunk of an ExecutionGroup is being executed by a device, the MemoryBuffer is allocated on the CPU.
  * <pre>
  * Allocation of the output MemoryBuffer
  *  +----------------------------------------+
  *  | Main device (CPU)                      |
  *  | +----------------+   +--------------+  |
  *  | | ExecutionGroup |   | MemoryBuffer |  |
  *  | |                |   | Chunk a      |  |
  *  | +----------------+   +--------------+  |
  *  |                                        |
  *  +----------------------------------------+
  * </pre>
  * @see MemoryManager.allocateMemoryBuffer
  *
  * @subsection S_MEM_2 Step two
  * The Device will execute the ExecutionGroup. This differs per type of Device. CPUDevice will call the NodeOperation.executeRegion method of the outputnode of the ExecutionGroup.
  * The [NodeOperation.executeRegion] writes the result to the allocated MemoryBuffer. When finished the state of the MemoryBuffer will be set to [MemoryBufferState.COM_MB_AVAILABLE].
  * <pre>
  * Execute a chunk and store result to the MemoryBuffer
  *  +----------------------------------------+
  *  | Main device (CPU)                      |
  *  | +----------------+   +--------------+  |
  *  | | ExecutionGroup |   | MemoryBuffer |  |
  *  | |                |   | Chunk a      |  |
  *  | +----------------+   +--------------+  |
  *  |         |                 ^            |
  *  | +----------------+        |            |
  *  | | NodeOperation  |--------+            |
  *  | |                |     Write result    |
  *  | +----------------+                     |
  *  |                                        |
  *  +----------------------------------------+
  * </pre>
  * @subsection S_MEM_3 Step 3
  * Other Chunks that depend on the MemoryBuffer can now use it.
  * When a MemoryBuffer is being used its number of users are increased. When a 'user' is finished the number of users are decreased, If a MemoryBuffer has no users, the system can decide to store the data to disk and free some memory.
  * @see MemoryBuffer.numberOfUsers
  * @see MemoryBuffer.saveToDisk
  *
  * @subsection S_MEM_CON Temporarily MemoryBuffers
  * Nodes like blur nodes can depend on multiple MemoryBuffer of the same MemoryProxy. These multiple buffers will be consolidated temporarily to a new MemoryBuffer.
  * When execution is finished this temporarily memory buffer is deallicated.
  * <pre>
  *  Original MemoryBuffer's  Temporarily
  *  +-------+ +-------+      MemoryBuffer
  *  | MB A  | | MB B  |      +-------+-------+
  *  +-------+ +-------+      | MB A  | MB B  |
  *                       ==> +-------+-------+
  *  +-------+ +-------+      | MB C  | MB D  |
  *  | MB C  | | MB D  |      +-------+-------+
  *  +-------+ +-------+
  * </pre>
  * @see ExecutionGroup.constructConsolidatedMemoryBuffer constructs the temporarily MemoryBuffer
  * @see MemoryBuffer.state state is MemoryManagerState.COM_MB_TEMPORARILY
  * @see ExecutionGroup.finalizeChunkExecution deallocate the temporarily MemoryBuffer
  * @note this MemoryBuffer is not managed by the MemoryManager
