24 virtual, 6 real GPUs per node. The first case is one node, 24 cores/vGPUs

All "GPUs" are one core/process/vGPU. So 12288 virtual GPUs and 3072
physical GPUs.

Maybe I should add 'virtual GPUs' and put (4 processes/SUMMIT GPU)

yes. The raw Mat-vec is about 3x faster with ~95K equations/process. I've
attached the data.
