Introduction¶

Currently testing the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) in Albany Land Ice (ALI) using Nvidia Tesla V100 GPUs on weaver. Note: Waterman was moved to a different network and renamed weaver. The last waterman test was executed on 6/16/2020.

Plot of wall-clock times or memory for nightly runs¶

Changepoints are estimated using a generalized likelihood ratio method on each timer, and then merged over all timers for a given test case.

Blue markers: recorded wall-clock time or memory
Solid red line: average wall-clock time or memory between changepoints
Dotted red lines: average wall-clock time or memory $\pm$ two standard deviations

Plot window controls¶

Test case and timer can be selected from the drop-down menus (* denotes recent changes detected)
Hovering over data points shows various metadata.
- The mean with upper and lower bounds of a 99% confidence interval.
- The relative performance (speedup,slowdown) between sets identified by changepoints with a 99% confidence interval for the ratio (difference between log mean of the two sets).
- Note: The confidence interval is based on a t-statistic, so for very small amounts of data (<5), the interval may be very large. NaNs are converted to zero.
