This is possible, it depends by the case you are running. But it also depends by the multi-thread libraries you are using. You mentioned ATLAS in a previous email. If you have Intel compiler you also have Intel MKL library... so why do you want to use ATLAS? If you do not compile correctly ATLAS performance will be low...</div><div><br></div><div>In case of QE-GPU, having 4 MPI on a multi-core workstation means share the GPU among them and split by a factor of the number of the MPI processes the available RAM on the GPU board (in your case 4). I do not know what kind of GPU do you have but you would like to avoid this scenario. My suggestion is to do not use MPI if you want to exploit the GPU capabilities of QE-GPU on a single workstation.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Filippo</div><div><br></div><div>(PS: please subscribe <a href="http://qe-forge.org/mailman/listinfo/q-e-gpgpu">http://qe-forge.org/mailman/listinfo/q-e-gpgpu</a> for all QE-GPU stuff :-)</div><div> </div><div apple-content-edited="true">
