Details Tödi Upgrade

custom output of ” apstat ”

users can parse the output of ” apstat ” the way they want with ” -f ” option i.e: apstat -no -f ” NID,Pl,Rv,Hw”

GPU support in CLE4.1:

* CUDA 5.0 API

*  Kernel Driver + CUDA library + CUDA Toolkit

*  GPU “Modes” exclusive, persistent

*  Simultaneous Execution contexts

. Only one CUDA context ( i,e MPI rank ) per node by default

. Multiple contexts support throught CUDA proxy

. set ENV variable CRAY-CUDA_PROXY=1 before aprun

. Limitations include debugging, profiling memory protection

. Feature support is evolving…..

*  Memory scrubbing

. Zero GPU memory between jobs

. Automatic, transparent

. Not delivered by NVIDIA as of Aug 01, 2012

. Expect in future update
