 +This is a simulation that takes about 3.5 GB of GPU memory. With a smaller simulation that takes about 400 MB of GPU memory,  the CPUs used did not scale and were best around ``+p4``.
  
 On the ``gpu72`` nodes with Intel 6130 and single NVidia V100, it's about 5 times faster than the best CPU version, so are a good use case.  On ``agpu72`` nodes with AMD7543 and single A100, it's only about 10% faster than 6130/V100, so that's not a good use case for the more expensive AMD/A100 nodes, unless gpu memory requires the newer GPU.  The even more expensive multi-gpu ``qgpu72`` nodes also don't scale well over single-gpu and are not a good use case. On the ``gpu72`` nodes with Intel 6130 and single NVidia V100, it's about 5 times faster than the best CPU version, so are a good use case.  On ``agpu72`` nodes with AMD7543 and single A100, it's only about 10% faster than 6130/V100, so that's not a good use case for the more expensive AMD/A100 nodes, unless gpu memory requires the newer GPU.  The even more expensive multi-gpu ``qgpu72`` nodes also don't scale well over single-gpu and are not a good use case.
