Good afternoon - I recently installed gromacs-4.6 on CentOS6.3 and the installation went just fine.
I have a Tesla C2075 GPU. I then downloaded the benchmark directories and ran a bench mark on the GPU/ dhfr-solv-PME.bench This is what I got: Using 1 MPI thread Using 4 OpenMP threads 1 GPU detected: #0: NVIDIA Tesla C2075, compute cap.: 2.0, ECC: yes, stat: compatible 1 GPU user-selected for this run: #0 Back Off! I just backed up ener.edr to ./#ener.edr.1# starting mdrun 'Protein in water' -1 steps, infinite ps. step 40: timed with pme grid 64 64 64, coulomb cutoff 1.000: 4122.9 M-cycles step 80: timed with pme grid 56 56 56, coulomb cutoff 1.143: 3685.9 M-cycles step 120: timed with pme grid 48 48 48, coulomb cutoff 1.333: 3110.8 M-cycles step 160: timed with pme grid 44 44 44, coulomb cutoff 1.455: 3365.1 M-cycles step 200: timed with pme grid 40 40 40, coulomb cutoff 1.600: 3499.0 M-cycles step 240: timed with pme grid 52 52 52, coulomb cutoff 1.231: 3982.2 M-cycles step 280: timed with pme grid 48 48 48, coulomb cutoff 1.333: 3129.2 M-cycles step 320: timed with pme grid 44 44 44, coulomb cutoff 1.455: 3425.4 M-cycles step 360: timed with pme grid 42 42 42, coulomb cutoff 1.524: 2979.1 M-cycles optimal pme grid 42 42 42, coulomb cutoff 1.524 step 4300 performance: 1.8 ns/day and from the nvidia-smi output: Tue Apr 9 10:13:46 2013 +------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 4.304.37 Driver Version: 304.37 | |-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | GPU Name | Bus-Id Disp. | Volatile Uncorr.

Is that right? It seems very very small compared to the CPU test where I am getting the same: step 200 performance: 1.8 ns/day vol 0.79 imb F 14% >From the md.log of the GPU test: Detecting CPU-specific acceleration.

Any thoughts as to why it is so slow? many thanks!
