The performance numbers were taken using Hoomd-Blue 1.3.3 with the following flags:
- gdrcopy enabled: MV2_USE_CUDA=1 MV2_IBA_HCA=mlx5_0 MV2_IBA_EAGER_THRESHOLD=32768 MV2_VBUF_TOTAL_SIZE=32768 MV2_USE_GPUDIRECT_LOOPBACK_LIMIT=32768 MV2_USE_GPUDIRECT_GDRCOPY=1 MV2_USE_GPUDIRECT_GDRCOPY_LIMIT=16384
These numbers were taken on Wilkes system. We would like to thank the University of Cambridge and the staff members of Wilkes for providing us access to this system.
