Hi Sarah,

The error message doesn't tell a lot here unfortunately. The issue with GPU error messages is that if you have an array in memory that contains a NAN - say the force array got an infinite force - then things will be fine 'until' the code tries to upload or download from the GPU (or do a similar copy operation) - NAN's are not supported in these operations and thus you get the error that you see. The real error - e.g. 2 atoms sitting on top of each other occurred somewhere else entirely within the code. The net result is that just because the error is in the gpu_allreduce does not mean it is related to something wrong with the GPUs, or a driver issue or even a multi-GPU issue.

What it likely means there is something wrong with the simulation itself that you are running. Have you tried running on just 1 GPU and see if that crashes as well (and also CPU?). Can you provide some more details about what you are actually simulating.

All the best
Ross
