Re: [AMBER] Fwd: GPU pmemd.cuda runs very slow (3ns/day)???

Hi,

I'm not sure that your numbers are that strange given the file that
you've put in attachment. It says:
ntpr = 100, ntwx = 100, ntwr = 1000,
(in contracdiction with your saying below, are you sure that you use the
right mdin?)
and NATOM=265294

So your system is rather big and your save every 100 steps
(recommendation for GPU run is to save at least every 1000 steps,
meaning ntpr, ntwx and ntwr should be >= 1000). With a GTX760 card, that
doesn't seem strange to me. Try increasing ntwx and ntpr, and see how it
goes.

Gerald.
