What is shared GPU Memory and How is total GPU memory calculated Windows 10?

My task manager GPU screenshot



My PC specs:

1. GPU - GTX 1060 - 6GB

2. Ram - 16 Gigs

3. CPU - Intel Core i7 8750H



My task manager says that I have

1. Dedicated GPU - 6 GB (which is correct)

2. Shared GPU - 7.9 GB (shared between RAM and GPU, but how ?)

3. GPU memory - 13.9 GB (I want to know how can I use this whole thing ? if I can that is.)



So my questions are..

1. How is shared GPU memory determined ?

2. Does my RAM and CPU affect the shared GPU memory ?

3. How can my total GPU memory be used or when does it get used ?
