Description

Thank you for providing such a great tool. I'm wondering if you could also provide the results for various GPU architectures, because we're not sure if our GPUs are configured optimally and sometimes I find it difficult to reproduce the benchmarks provided by NVIDIA.

I ran the device_to_device_memcpy_read_ce test on 6 A6000 devices and got the following result:

nvbandwidth Version: v0.8
Built from Git version: v0.8

CUDA Runtime Version: 13000
CUDA Driver Version: 13000
Driver Version: 580.95.05

...

Does this look about right to you?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the reported device_to_device_memcpy_read_ce output for the six A6000 GPUs, including the nvbandwidth, CUDA, and driver versions provided. Compare it with available NVIDIA benchmark references and determine what reference results should be documented; done means the expected results and configuration context are clearly published.
