-  * All the rules from [[:Grid]] apply, even more strictly than for CPU because there are too many GPU users and not as many GPUs available. So as a reminder: always use GPUs via ''qsub'' (or ''qrsh''), never via ''ssh''. You can ssh to any machine e.g. to run ''nvidia-smi'' or ''htop'', but not to start computing on GPU. Don't forget to specify you RAM requirements with e.g. ''-l mem_free=8G,act_mem_free=8G,h_vmem=12G''+  * All the rules from [[:Grid]] apply, even more strictly than for CPU because there are too many GPU users and not as many GPUs available.

Don't forget to specify you RAM requirements with e.g. ''-l mem_free=8G,act_mem_free=8G,h_data=12G''
-  * Always specify the number of GPU cards (e.g. ''gpu=1''), the minimal Cuda capability you need (e.g. ''gpu_cc_min3.5=1'') and your GPU memory requirements (e.g. ''gpu_ram=2G''). Thus e.g. <code>qsub -q gpu-ms.q -l gpu=1,gpu_cc_min3.5=1,gpu_ram=2G</code> +    * **Note that you need to use ''h_data'' instead of ''h_vmem'' for GPU jobs.** CUDA driver allocates a lot of "unused" virtual memory (tens of GB per card), which is counted in ''h_vmem'', but not in ''h_data''. All usual allocations (''malloc'', ''new'', Python allocations) seem to be included in ''h_data''
-  * If you need more than one GPU card (on a single machine), always require as many CPU cores (''-pe smp X'') as many GPU cards you need. E.g. <code>qsub -q gpu-ms.q -l gpu=4,gpu_cc_min3.5=1,gpu_ram=7G -pe smp 4</code> **Warning**: currently, this does not work, so you can omit the ''-pe smp X'' part. Milan Fučík is working on a fix. +  * Always specify the number of GPU cards (e.g. ''gpu=1''), the minimal Cuda capability you need (e.g. ''gpu_cc_min3.5=1'') and your GPU memory requirements (e.g. ''gpu_ram=2G''). Thus e.g. <code>qsub -q 'gpu*' -l gpu=1,gpu_cc_min3.5=1,gpu_ram=2G</code> 
-  * For interactive jobs, you can use ''qrsh'', but make sure to end your job as soon as you don't need the GPU (so don't use qrsh for long training). **Warning: ''-pty yes bash'' is necessary**, otherwise the variable ''$CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'' will not be set correctly. E.g. <code>qrsh -q gpu-ms.q -l gpu=1,gpu_ram=2G -pty yes bash</code>In general: don't reserve a GPU (as described above) without actually using it for longer time. (E.g. try separating steps which need GPU and steps which do not and execute those separately on our GPU resp. CPU cluster.)

   * Note that the dll machines have typically 10 cards, but "just" 250 GB RAM (DLL6 has only 128 GB). So the expected (maximal) ''mem_free'' requirement for jobs with 1 GPU is 25GB. If your 1-GPU job takes e.g. 80 GB and you submit three such jobs on the same machine, you have effectively blocked the whole machine and seven GPUs remain unused. If you really need to submit more high-memory jobs, send each on a different machine.   * Note that the dll machines have typically 10 cards, but "just" 250 GB RAM (DLL6 has only 128 GB).
