CPU vs GPU

So the question was raised what does our usage look like between CPU and GPU devices? I have no idea what the appropriate metrics would be but lets start with comparing the hardware deployed. We'll also need to make some assumptions

  • Data is period June 1 to June 25, 2018 (job information data ages out)
    • Maybe build monthly script if this turns out to be usable info
  • That period covers 600 hours of time
  • Assume 99% utilization of cpu core or gpu device
  • Available time is measured per cpu core but by gpu device
  • There is no good/bad metric
  • Never collated such data before
  • The GPU usage is based on detecting gpu reservations (gpu= flag)
  • Sadly, the logs showing gpu %util confirm this
Metric CPU Ratio GPU Notes
Device Count 72 3:1 24 cpu all intel, gpu all nvidia
Core Count 1,192 1:54 64,300 physical only
Memory 7,408 51:1 144 GB
Teraflops 38 1.5:1 25 double precision, floating point, theoretical
Avail Hours 715,200 50:1 14,400 total cpu cores, total gpus
Job Count 2,834 3:1 1,045 scheduled jobs irregardless of exit status
Job Hours 221,136 77:1 2,872 cummulative hours of consumed usage
Avail Hrs Util% 31 6:1 5 weeping…
Avail Hours2 561,600 39:1 14,400 total cpu cores - hp12, total gpus
Avail Hrs2 Util% 39 8:1 5 more realistic…
