There are more experienced people here that can provide better informed,
fuller answers, but I hope this will help:

Set the environment variable *CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES *(you can search for
this in the Amber mailing list to see previous posts).
*CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0* should point to your first GPU, and if you then
set *CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 *you should use your other one.

I'm pretty sure there will not be any increase in performance when using
more CPU cores.
