Hey,

thank you for the hint. I just finished the tests. The machine is Intel xeon R, 12 cores , 4 Teslas M2090 and 96 gb of memory. I used the most demanding PME dhfr benchmark system ( 7000w + protein) and obtained the following results:

1 cpu core run: 2.135 ns a day
12 cpu cores run: 21.478 ns a day

1 gpu unit run ( how many cpu cores are used, one ? ):   13.0 ns/day

4 parallel gpu runs on the node, performance: 12.884, 10.296, 8.290 and 6.953 ns/day, which is on average about 9.6 ns for one gpu.

From your experience, are this expected numbers ? From the benchmarks on the website I had e feeling that the gpu runs will be faster.

Greetings

Andrzej

This happens on my GPU node. Every time I reboot the computer, I must reconfigure the GPU cards with "nvidia-smi -a" using root account.

Hey,
I am playing with the gpu version of mdrun and could make it run with:
~/gromacs/gpu/bin/mdrun-gpu -s topol.tpr -device
"OpenMM:platform=Cuda,memtest=15,deviceid=0,force-device=yes"
However after reboot of the machine ( which is a testing machine)
I get the following error:
-------------------------------------------------------
Program mdrun-gpu, VERSION 4.5.5
Source code file: /home/weber/gromacs/gromacs-4.5.5_gpu/src/kernel/
openmm_wrapper.cpp, line: 1272
Fatal error:

I run a simple gpu test program and it  works.
I believe something is not linked correctly, maybe someone can give me
a hint.
Thank You
Andrzej
