[petsc-dev] First call to cudaMalloc or cudaFree is very slow on summit

As I mentioned, have you tried -cuda_initialize 0? Also,
PetscCUDAInitialize contains

ierr = PetscCUBLASInitializeHandle();CHKERRQ(ierr);
ierr = PetscCUSOLVERDnInitializeHandle();CHKERRQ(ierr);

Have you tried to comment out them and test again?
