Wanted to check it on tesla p40. Solver writes the following lines to the log:

When start drsolver - WARN - implement in-place sort

It's because of p40?

Yes, it's because it's running a pre-ampere architecture.

It's possible to support lower architectures but there will be additional performance loss, and the compute / W won't be competitive.

Thanks for the quick response.

Perhaps farmers with 100tb may be satisfied with this.

I don't think the economics of pre-ampere graphics cards will make sense, they are just not as energy efficient and won't be profitable to run.
