Hi Ye,

> will the performance be increased if I update cuda from 3.2 to 4.0?

No right now it won't make any difference. We plan to make more extensive
use of the new GPU Direct features to improve scaling in parallel but that
won't be until AMBER 12 so for now you will get roughly the same performance
from either 3.2 or 4.0.

All the best
Ross
