[QE-users] Help for compilation with Nvidia HPC SDK

[Mauro Francesco Sgroi]

Dear Fabrizio,
thanks a lot for the explanation.
I was unsure about how to proceed and worried not to get the proper
performance on the GPU.

May I ask for help regarding the way of running the code? Where can I find
instructions on how to launch the executable?

For example, how can I control the number of GPUs used and the parallel
processes?

I have 2 GPUs for each node.

Thanks a lot and best regards,
Mauro Sgroi.
