The GPU flop rate (when 100 percent flops on the GPU) should always be higher
than the overall flop rate (the previous column). For large problems they
should be similar, for small problems the GPU one may be much higher.
If the CPU one is higher (when 100 percent flops on the GPU) something must
be wrong with the logging. I looked at the code for the two cases and didn't
see anything obvious.
Junchao and Jacob,
I think some of the timing code in the Kokkos interface is wrong.
* The PetscLogGpuTimeBegin/End should be inside the viewer access code not
outside it. (The GPU time is an attempt to best time the kernels, not other
processing around the use of the kernels, that other stuff is captured in the
general LogEventBegin/End.
* The use of WaitForKokkos() is confusing and seems inconsistent.
-For example it is used in VecTDot_SeqKokkos() which I would think
has a barrier anyways because it puts a scalar result into update?
-Plus PetscLogGpuTimeBegin/End is suppose to already have suitable
system (that Hong added) to ensure the kernel is complete; reading the manual
page and looking at Jacobs cupmcontext.hpp it seems to be there so I don't
think WaitForKokkos() is needed in most places (or is Kokkos asynchronous and
needs this for correctness?)
But these won't explain the strange result of overall flop rate being higher
than GPU flop rate.
