  1. Download/unpack files into root directoy

    Code Block
    languagejava
    themeEmacs
    wget https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/exxact-support/Test+Folder/Stand_Alone_Validation_v3.1.tar.gz
    tar -xvzf Stand_Alone_Validation_v3.1.tar.gz


  2. Change directory to unpacked folder

    Code Block
    languagejava
    themeEmacs
    cd Stand_Alone_Validation


  3. Set amount of GPU's/test cycles desired by editing 'run_test.x' file

    Code Block
    languagejava
    themeEmacs
    nano run_test.x#Howx
    
    #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.

  4. Save changes using 'ctrl+cx' 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

  5. Run test in the background by using

    Code Block
    languagejava
    themeEmacs
    nohup ./run_test.x &


  6. Monitor GPU temps by opening another terminal and using

    Code Block
    languagejava
    themeEmacs
    nvidia-smi -l
