That should never happen. If mdrun is compiled with GPU support and GPUs are detected, the detection stats should always get printed. Can you reliably reproduce the issue? -- Szilárd On Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 9:50 AM, Jernej Zidar wrote: > Hi there. > Lately I've been running simulations using G

Hi there. Lately I've been running simulations using GPUs on a computer node. I noticed that though the GPUs are always in use sometimes I don't get this message in the output: Using 4 MPI threads Using 2 OpenMP threads per tMPI thread 4 GPUs detected: #0: NVIDIA Tesla C2070, compute cap.: 2.0

Thanks Mirco, good info, your numbers look quite consistent. The only complicating factor is that your CPUs are overclocked by different amounts, which changes the relative performances somewhat compared to non-overclocked parts. However, let me list some prices to show that the top-of-the line AM

I strongly suggest that you consider the single-chip GTX cards instead of a dual-chip one; from the point of view of price/performance you'll probably get the most from a 680 or 780. You could ask why, so here are the reasons: - The current parallelization scheme requires domain-decomposition to u
