VASP 6.2 ACC GPU corrector takes much more time
Posted: Wed Feb 10, 2021 4:18 pm
Is there a reason why the timing for the "CORREC" and "EDDIAG" sections would take longer for a run using a GPU verses and identical run using only CPUs?
We are finding using the OpenACC GPU version to be beneficial as far as run times with the exception of time spent in "CORREC" corrector section and the "EDDIAG" section.
Perhaps this section does not run on the GPU yet??
