Hi Roger,

Unfortunately the Maxwell architecture is not supported with AMBER 12 since it wasn't around at the time of AMBER 12 and the underlying hardware changed a LOT from the previous chip.

That being said you could 'try' the following.

1) Use CUDA 6.5, this is the only version that will likely work here.

2) Use the update_amber script to apply all the latest patches.

3) Edit $AMBERHOME/AmberTools/src/configure2 - Lines 751, 754, 1026, 1028, 1302 and 1305 add:

-gencode arch=compute_35,code=sm_35 -gencode arch=compute_37,code=sm_37 -gencode arch=compute_50,code=sm_50

 4) cd $AMBERHOME; ./configure -cuda gnu; make install

Then see if that works. I would suggest running the test cases and inspecting them carefully and also check your results carefully.

All the best
Ross
