Dynamically pooled allocation of memory buffer on spatial compute architectures, including analyzing, at compile-time, access patterns (e.g., cyclo-static execution/firing rules) of consumer and/or producer processes that have shared access to local memory of one or more compute tiles, and identifying situations in which multiple buffers can be replaced with a pooled buffer having a memory footprint that is less than a sum of the memory footprints of the multiple buffers. A compiler may identify instances of mutual exclusiveness in the execution patterns of the processes, differences in execution times between compute kernels of the processes, and/or variations in execution times of the kernels. The compiler may generate controller code and/or configuration parameters to enforce memory allocation/mapping at application run-time.
