Hi Ross,

Yes we are using the version 12.3 of the GPU code.

|--------------------- INFORMATION ----------------------
| GPU (CUDA) Version of PMEMD in use: NVIDIA GPU IN USE.
| Version 12.3
|
| 04/24/2013
|
| Implementation by:
| Ross C. Walker (SDSC)
| Scott Le Grand (nVIDIA)
| Duncan Poole (nVIDIA)
|
| CAUTION: The CUDA code is currently experimental.
| You use it at your own risk. Be sure to
| check ALL results carefully.
|
| Precision model in use:
| [SPFP] - Mixed Single/Double/Fixed Point Precision.
| (Default)
|
