[AMBER] cudaMemcpy GpuBuffer::Download failed unspecified launch failure

Hi all,

It seems that I have the same kind of problem than Fabricio Bracht (last
week on the mailing list) with the cuda version of pmemd.

Basically, I'm using pmemd.cuda_SPFP to simulate a protein with various
ligands. My setup is always
the same, and I run 1 simulation per different ligand. For one ligand, I
obtain the following error:
cudaMemcpy GpuBuffer::Download failed unspecified launch failure

I have run 5 times 100 ns without any problem (5 different sets of
ligands). And this 6th simulation fails.

For information, I recompiled pmemd.cuda with the latest updates and the
problem still exists (no difference between SPDP and SDFP versions for
example). I use intel 12.1.3 and cuda 4.2. The GPU card is a Tesla M2090.

 From some analysis of the mdcrd file, it seems that a SHAKE problem
occurs on the ligand: at some point, the distance between a nitrogen and
its bonded hydrogen becomes 5 angstroms!
I'm currently re-running with a smaller time step to see if it can
correct anything (1fs instead of 2fs).

Any idea on how to correct the problem?

Thanks in advance,

Gerald Monard.

For the record, the mdin file is:
