Our gb model (igb=8) was trained using the Amber resp charge model. I would
expect to have to do careful testing before using with a different charge
set. My guess would be that it would not work well without some adjustment.

I'm not positive but I don't think the CUDA code supports sasa
calculations. Try it and see.
