[AMBER] gpu %utils vs mem used

Hi All, this is not a pure Amber question, I observe the same with my Lammps users, but I figured there may be gpu expertise on this list to give me some insights.


My K20 environment is running with exclusive/persistent enabled. Taking a look at the size of the jobs I was wondering going the disabled route and push more jobs through.


But how/why do these tiny jobs each push gpu %util to above 70% while consuming such little memory? If that's real then the gpu can only handle one such job at a time?
