why does multiple gpu not work?

      I have a tank which has these dimensions

      x [-0.7,0.7]

      y[-0.5 0.5]

      z[-0.5 0.5]

      I am trying to run the simulation with 4gpu and i keep getting error in the simulation. This error is so generic and i dont know why it is causing

      Error:QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread

      I have given the correct gpu slicing --multi-gpu-slicing-direction=X but still i get this error

      Can anyone suggest why?

      Hello,

      does it work for single GPU?

      It works for single gpu and two GPU the moment I request 3 GPU or 4gpu the simulation keeps erroring out

      Rocky works for single-node only. Are all your GPUs in the same node?

    • Shyam Prasad V Atri

      Yes they are all on same node and same host

      All 4gpus on same node and one computer. Still it errors out

      Would you give me more deatails about your case?

      Its a mixing tank of 1m diameter and 1m height. There is a top inlet pipe of  20cm and bottom outet pipe of 20cm in the x direction hence the total distance covered in x direction ranges from negative 0.7m to positive 0.7m. the pipe diameter is 10cm. I have about 700 sphero cylinder particles made of multiple elements (flexible one)

      What GPUs are you using? Do you have license for using 4 GPUs? 

      It also seems like you have very few particles for using 4 GPUs.

      I gave 700 as an example… I have 70000 particles I want to add more than that too… I am using L40s or H100 or a100 gpu of University hpc cluster. I believe the universitys acadamic ansys license should allow the use of four gpus. i did not see any restrictions

      Hello Lucas, Any idea why such a simulation is not working. Please let me know.
