Hi Ross,

Thanks for the pointer to simpleP2P. That illustrated the problem well enough to identify and fix a pci-bridge setting that somehow
became unset. We have also updated to the current Nvidia driver version 352.79

All is well now, both with simpleP2P and amber.

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.
