Data Type

Integer

Default Value

Number of installed GPU processors.

Description

This is the number of GPU tasks that FMS runs in parallel. By default, this value is set to the number of GPU processors in the system. This allows a single FMS job to use all system resources and complete as fast as possible.

For each GPU processor being used, FMS starts a separate host thread that is dedicated to managing that GPU processor. You may set this parameter to a value less than the number of installed GPU processors, including a value of 0 to perform all the work in the host. If you try to set this parameter to a value greater than the number of installed GPU processors, a fatal error will occur.
