Hi Biplab,
How are you actually running the calculation across two GPUs? Are you using mpirun? As in
mpirun -np 2 $AMBERHOME/bin/pmemd.cuda.MPI -O -i ...
It's unclear from your description if you are doing this or not. I'd suggest reading through the instructions on
http://ambermd.org/gpus/ to make sure you are runnings things correctly. If you are then we can do some further debugging - e.g. take a look in the mdout file etc. - Do the test cases work in parallel, does CPU parallel work etc?
With regards to P2P support - this is required if you want to see speedup across 2 GPUs. Who manufacturers your system? In the first instance you should go back to them and request details on how to reconfigure the hardware to support P2P connectivity. If it is a home built system then please send the motherboard spec (make and model) and we can try and figure out how the GPUs should be installed to support this.
All the best
Ross
