Hi guys I am using intel DevCloud to compile and submit my numerical codes, openmp, etc - but I am only ever (not complaining) getting 12 threads - how do I get more cores/threads?? 

 

Maybe I am missing something

Hi,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us.

 

Intel oneAPI DevCloud has 3 different processors

 

Intel® Xeon® Scalable 6128 processors, Intel® Xeon® Scalable 8256 processors and Intel® Xeon® E-2176 P630 processors (with Intel® Graphics Technology)

 

 

Intel® Xeon® Scalable 6128 processor has 6 cores and 12 threads in one socket.

Please refer the given links for more information.

You can refer the following link to know more about DevCloud:  https://devcloud.intel.com/oneapi/home/

 

You could find the architecture and features of the compute nodes available by using the command "pbsnodes" .

 

Also "lscpu" command will give the details of the compute node you are using.

 

If you have any further issues please let us know.

 

Thanks

it seems like I am only getting one socket - i.e 12 threads

I submit me job like this

qsub -l nodes=1:gpu:ppn=2,walltime=24:00:00 -d . job.sh

and job.sh looks like this

source /opt/intel/inteloneapi/setvars.sh

make run

./cdem2D run_description 0 

where 0 on my command line means max threads

Yes - I understand now I was interpreting "sockets" as cores - which they clearly aren't - so my openmp codes (compiled with icc) are running on one socket, 6 cores, 12 threads - and very quickly as well
