MAGMA Forum

I compiled the spotrf program - the problem is that once a matrix size gets beyond my GPU memory (896MB), the program exits without updating anything. I am trying to generate the Cholesky matrix from a 10,000 element correlation matrix (by the way, ACML can process it in under 1sec so probably Magma is not needed on this size matrix).

1) Can anyone confirm there is not support yet for matrices beyond the GPU memory limit?

2) Is there a way to divide the parallel tasks to avoid this?

3) Are all the magma programs limited to the available GPU memory so far?

Thanks all

The answer to all three questions is "yes". There are different ways to do it, but we haven't included in MAGMA any implementations yet (targeting these cases). Our first goal/priority in MAGMA is to provide a version with basic functionality (as currently available) and later use it as a building block for out-of-core algorithms, algorithms for multi-GPUs, etc., which we have started doing now.
