Evaluate the architectural trade-offs of utilizing a fixed-dimension work buffer rather than dynamically resizing the buffer for PCIe expert parameter transfers. In your response, explain how the system handles transfers when fewer experts are needed than the buffer capacity, and describe how this approach preserves device-resident execution.
