Hi

Vaibhav


The simplest answer is that you should try it. Just send 4 replicas to
one GPU and see what happens.

My expectation is that in principle it should work, but much slower than
if you had 1 gpu per replica. Still faster than the cpu MPI version.

However, for a system of your size, the questions becomes if your
particular GPU has enough memory to run 4 replicas, each 60K atoms.

The only thing you can do it try. If there is not enough memory in your
GPU, you will know within seconds.
