It could be that since we have multiple separate tests running at the same time they overload the GPU or cause some inconsistent behavior that doesn't appear every time the tests are run. Barry Maybe we need to sequentialize all the tests that use the GPUs, we just trust gnumake for the parallelism maybe you could some how add dependencies to get gnu make to achieve this? > On Sep 19, 2019, at 3:53 PM, Zhang, Junchao <jczh...@mcs.anl.gov> wrote: > > On Thu, Sep 19, 2019 at 3:24 PM Smith, Barry F. <bsm...@mcs.anl.gov> wrote: > > > > On Sep 19, 2019, at 2:50 PM, Zhang, Junchao <jczh...@mcs.anl.gov> wrote: > > > > I saw your update.
