multiGPU example

I saw from README that there is a multiGPU example, but I didn't find it. Where can I find it or does CULA Sparse support multiGPU? Thx!

Hi Phoebe,
The README is inadvertently describing the examples in CULA Dense. We will correct that.

That said, you can download the free version of CULA Dense to check out that example. While CULA Sparse will not use multiple GPUs to solve a single system, the library can be used to issue separate problems simultaneously to different GPUs. The example code will demonstrate how.

Is there a FORTRAN example for multiGPU anywhere? The one mentioned here is in C if I have found the correct example.

There is not such an example, but CULA usage in a multithreaded environment is the same as single threaded usage. Just call culaInitialize() - then your routines - then culaShutdown() in each thread.

Thank you John! It is running.

It's likely, but I'll caution that it's not on the immediate horizon. We're still seeking motivating cases for this need - most of our customer problems to date are more effectively solved by a single GPU than by multiple. (ie the overhead of having the GPUs communicate among themselves outweighs the perf gains by using multiple)
