Hi All,

Ok, so overnight I repeated the JAC NPT tests on the two 4 x GTX780
machines I have access too. One of these has:

and the other has:

DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI,DP, SLI
Ready Graphics Card (03G-P4-2781-KR)


BOTH machines are super micro motherboards in certified cases with
validated and ducted cooling. One is rack mount and the other is a desktop
- essentially the models shown here:

I ran JAC NPT with the following input:

 Typical Production MD NVT
 &cntrl
   ntx=5, irest=1,
   ntc=2, ntf=2,
   nstlim=1000000,
   ntpr=1000, ntwx=5000,
   ntwr=100000,
   dt=0.002, cut=8.,
   ntt=1, tautp=10.0,
   temp0=300.0,
   ntb=2, ntp=1, taup=10.0,
   ioutfm=1,

Running on CentOS / RHEL 6


I ran 10 sequential runs on each of the 4 GPUs in each machine
simultaneously giving me a total of 80 output files all of which were
identical and ended after 1 million steps with the following output:

 NSTEP = 1000000 TIME(PS) = 2006.000 TEMP(K) = 300.01 PRESS =
-47.5
 Etot = -58245.9096 EKtot = 14421.9385 EPtot =
-72667.8481
 BOND = 486.0307 ANGLE = 1238.6417 DIHED =
972.1042
 1-4 NB = 558.3709 1-4 EEL = 6793.5638 VDWAALS =
8465.9200
 EELEC = -91182.4793 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =
0.0000
 EKCMT = 6392.4186 VIRIAL = 6633.3942 VOLUME =
234849.5754
                                                    Density =
1.0218



So right now the GTX780s look ok to me but it is very possible that they
don't work well in traditional consumer cases.

I am going to repeat the tests with Cellulose NPT.

All the best
Ross
