It had been a while since updating so I don't know when this improvement happened, but if you haven't updated in a while, now might be a good time :) Regards, Kellen ID: 852 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I've seen a drop from 105 sec to 90 sec on a Tesla v100 which is a huge difference for just a software change. ID: 857 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
