Change directory to unpacked folder
Code Block language java theme Emacs cd Stand_Alone_Validation
Set amount of GPU's/test cycles desired by editing 'run_test.x' file
Code Block language java theme Emacs nano run_test.x #How many GPUs in node gpu_count=4 #How many tests to run of each type #Large test requires 5GB memory #Xlarge test requires 11GB memory small_test_count=20 large_test_count=10 xlarge_test_count=5
Note: Duration of tests varies depending on GPU's being used. If you are using a smaller GPU specifically for display, you need to remove that GPU and use this system using terminal-view only or SSH to run the test.
Save changes using 'ctrl+x' and answering 'y' to the prompt; I typically like to set 5/5/2 tests. The default amount of cycles are typically meant for overnight/long duration testing
Run test in the background by using (run as root)
Code Block language java theme Emacs nohup ./run_test.x &
Monitor GPU temps by opening another terminal and using 'nvidia-smi -l'; once you no longer see the 'standalone-test.bin' process being printed from 'nvidia-smi', you can check the logs to see if your set amount of cycles completed.
