Re: [AMBER] Amber 12 and CUDA 5.0 K20 vs GTX 680: GTX 680 is two time faster than K20

Hi Filippo,

This seems strange. How long did the tests run for? They need to run for
at least a couple of minutes to get reasonable statistics for performance.
Can you check that ECC is turned off on the K20. You might also consider
rebooting the machine to make sure there isn't anything stuck running on
the K20. If you still see the same difference then please send me a copy
of your inputs and I'll try it here.

All the best
Ross
