Initializing cutlass and cusolver does not affect the memory usage. I did the following to turn them off:

We want the device initialized by PETSc , we just don't want the cublas and cusolve stuff initialized. In order to see how much memory initializing the blas and solvers takes. So I think you need to comment things in cupminterface.hpp like cublasCreate and cusolverDnCreate. Urgh, I hate C++ where huge chunks of real code are in header files.

Normally this is the default behavior but if -log_view or -log_summary is provided this defaults to “-device_enable eager”.

This is way too much for doing nothing. A test script is attached to reproduce the issue. If I remove the first line "import torch", PETSc consumes about 0.73GB, which is still significant. Does anyone have any idea about this behavior?
