Tesla S1070 4GUPs

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance

Hi all,

Our group just installed a Tesla S1070 on a Linux-64 bit operation system. I run the example “deviceQuery” in SDK package and found there are only 2 GPUs detected.

Here is the message:

I thought Tesla S1070 had 4 GPUs, why I only saw 2? Is there something wrong with my hardware connections? Thanks for any advise.

Are all 4 physically attached? Do they appear in lspci output?

Here is lspci message regarding GPU parts:

If we say 4 GPUs are physically connected well, why I only see 2 in the “deviceQurey” run?

Other questions: Does a CUDA code (or a kernel) using 4GPUs at the same time on Tesla S1070, or they just use 1GPU or 2GPUs? Do I need to specify GPU(s) in a CUDA code if I want use more than 1?

I only see two S1070 GPUs in the output you provided. Do you also have several S870s attached?

Please generate and attach an nvidia-bug-report.log

Hi

Thanks for your quick reply.

I believe that we don’t have S870s. We have only one S1070 connected to a cpu server through 2 pcie cables.

Also how can I generate nvidia-bug-report.log? Thanks for your help!

Best,

Xuejun

Hi,

Finally we see 4 GPUs. It is our mistake that we forgot to reboot the system after we plug in another PCIe cable.

Thanks.

Best,
