-The logs showing gpu %util confirm the extremely low GPU usage. When concatenating the four gpu %util values int a string, since 01Jan2017, the string '0000' has occurred 10 million times out of 16 million observations. (GPUs are polled every 10 mins). Sad. The surprising strong GPU job count is due to the Amber group launches lots of small GPU jobs.+The logs showing gpu %util confirm the extremely low GPU usage.

 So were these 25 days in June 2018 an oddity? March is Honors' Theses time so lets look at Jul17 so we can compare that to Jul18 in august. So were these 25 days in June 2018 an oddity? March is Honors' Theses time so lets look at Jul17 so we can compare that to Jul18 in august.

 +  * Some noise in this data with the inability to match start and end of job (~15% of records)
 +  * The assumption that ''hp12'' was barely used might not be correct
 +
 +Based on Jul17 we process about 60-70 times more CPU jobs than GPU jobs, that seems consistent with Jul18. The metric of Job Hours consumed versus Available Hours in %, the picture is probably more like Jul17...30-40% of CPU cycles are consumed and 25% of GPU cycles. We shall wait for Jul18 metrics.
