Hello,
I have been able to compile magma on my machine and I am running some tests from the "testing" directory. When I ran "testing_dsyevd", I get these results:
Code: Select all
device 0: Tesla C2070, 1147.0 MHz clock, 5375.2 MB memory
device 1: Tesla C2050, 1147.0 MHz clock, 2687.4 MB memory
Usage:
testing_dsyevd -N 1024
N CPU Time(s) GPU Time(s) ||R||_F / ||A||_F
==========================================================
1024 0.25 0.20 0.000000e+00 2.054667e-15
2048 1.68 1.32 5.880427e-16 8.679861e-14
3072 5.70 3.67 4.055110e-16 4.497512e-13

...etc...
Does anyone have an idea about what the temperature messages mean? Should I be worried about this?
Thanks,
Jeremiah

I have ran a few other testing_* executables and get the temperature message there as well.

Hi,
it's not related to MAGMA. You are just stressing you CPUs when you run these testings and so, the system is adjusting the CPU clock in relation to the temperature reported by sensors.

Thanks for your reply. How am I "stressing" my CPUs? How do I avoid this? (Or should I?)

What can I say ? Don't run magma testings
.
This is not a problem, your system is just adjusting the CPU accorded to the sensors. MAGMA testings dsyevd is an hybrid kernel using CPU and GPU, so the BLAS called on the CPU just "stress" the system and by consequence increase the temperature.

Hi, Mathieu!
What do you mean by saying "MAGMA testings dsyevd is an hybrid kernel using CPU and GPU"? Is it possible to run "dsyevd" by using GPU only?
