Dear All,
I use a Tesla K20c GPU card in a SGI cluster setup. The OS i am using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 the utilization shoots up to 99% without any compute process running on it .
I posted this question in card forums and got an reply that it would be wise to post this in the Linux forums
Requesting any inputs on the same
