Hi Jerry,

I do have a C2050 but don't have any benchmark comparisons. Maybe someone else?

Hi Mat,

Can you try your code again with PGI 10.4? "-ta=nvidia,fastmath" now uses a less precise but much faster divide. Another code, WRF, sees a 3x speed-up of the accelerator computation. Given the number of divides in your code, it will most likely help your code as well. Check your answers, though.

We have 10.4 installed. The code compiles, but I get this when trying to run:
| Code: |
call to EventCreate returned error 2: Out of memory

We have CUDA 10.3, although it is not clear the PGI compilers are using it. When I run pgaccelinfo, I get this:

Does that top line indicate a CUDA version of 2.03?
The 10.3 binary is still there, and when I use it, the code runs without an error.
Thanks,
Jerry |

It means that your driver supports CUDA 2.3. A "3000" means CUDA 3.0.

I'm assuming you mean CUDA 3.0. By default "-ta=nvidia" will use CUDA 2.3. If you're adding "-ta=nvidia,cuda3.0" then you will need to update your driver.
What flags are you using? If nothing changed except the compiler version, then we've got a bug. If this is the case, can you send a report to PGI Customer Support (trs@pgroup.com) and include the code?
Thanks,
Mat |

Hi Mat,
I meant CUDA 2.3 in the previous message.
We have CUDA 3.0 installed, and pgaccelinfo gives the "3000" string at the top. I no longer get the "out of memory error". In fact, at this point, I cannot make that error come back.
Previously, before we changed CUDA, the 10.4 version of pgfortran would produce the error, and the 10.3 version would not. The CUDA version was 2.3.
That said, the -fastmath option did not seem to improve the performance. Also, the card takes 2.5 seconds to initialize, compared to about 0.2 seconds for the previous CUDA.
