 Even if we try to do our best to have one to one correspondence for everything on CPU and GPU, it can happen that some of the recent algorithms are not yet implemented on GPU. The reference should always be the CPU implementation. We therefore strongly recommend, namely for setting up the new task, to test the task first on CPU, crosscheck it with GPU and then run the various repetitive calculations on GPU to speedup the solution. Even if we try to do our best to have one to one correspondence for everything on CPU and GPU, it can happen that some of the recent algorithms are not yet implemented on GPU.

-As an example you can test the following parameter files, comparing performance of GSvit on different number of CPU cores and on a single GPU on the above mentioned system. The calculation took on a single core, 1 minute 43 seconds on eight cores, and 54 seconds on the first GPU. +As an example you can test the following parameter files, comparing performance of GSvit on different number of CPU cores and on a single GPU on the above mentioned system.
