Edward - Thanks very much for your response. I appreciate the advice to search through the various options provided by nvidia-smi. Before trying to change settings, I used nvidia-smi -q to see if I could detect differences. I really couldn’t find anything, but I’m not all that familiar with CUDA and GPU settings. In the hopes that you might notice something, here are the results of running with-no-load and with-load. (The former running deep learning only and the later running both deep learning and crypto mining.)
My GPU is a Titan V
nvidia-smi -i 0 -q
