Tesla C1060 memory performance #2

In my post a few days ago I mentioned that some of the numbers reported by the Visual Profiler needed further investigation.

In particular the device to device memory bandwith reported by the profiler differed from the value reported by the bandwith test sample. This was easily tracked down:  according to the documentation, the profiler divides the bytes read/written by 10^9 whereas the bandwith test sample divides by ( time in milliseconds * 2^20).    So: 1000*2^20/10^9 = 1.048576    i.e. the bandwith sample reports a lower number.
