Not getting more than 2 gpu cores with job submit /numgpus RRS feed

    When I submit a job, if I as for numgpus the best number of gpu cores I can get is 2 even though 4 are accessible. I have verified that I have access to 4 and they are unoccupied. There are also 48 CPU cores.

    The best case is if I submit with /numgpus:1-4, I can access 2 of the 4 gpu cores on my 2 K80s. If I submit with any of the following combinations I only get 1 of the gpu cores. /numgpus:2-4, /numgpus:3-4 or /numgpus:4

    Is there anything wrong with this command:

    C:\Users\H155568>job submit /parametric:0-3:1 /workdir:c:\FrontendDNN\TestCaseAH /stderr:part_*_HPCstderr.txt /stdout:part_*_HPCstdout.txt /requestednodes:pa94pw3r9tv52 /numgpus:4 RunHpc_pa94pw3r9tv52_*.bat

    I have found a way to access all cores and that was to make a job template and only specify that the node had to be gpu capable. That job template that specified GPUNodes as the Node Groups.

    Hi, Albert,

    what is your GPU task running, whether use the environment variable "CCP_GOUIDS"?

    you can refer to https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt595856.aspx#BKMK_CUDA

    if you submit with /numgpus:1-4, you said can access 2 gpus, do you mean for the 4 tasks in your job, only 2 are running, after they finished, then the other 2 start to run on the same GPUS?

    Thanks,

    Yongjun
