Hi Neha,

Please read through the following page: http://ambermdorg/gpus/ <http://ambermdorg/gpus/>

It should tell you all you need to know.

Short answer is that CPU speed is irrelevant for GPU AMBER - you only need 1 core per GPU. If you have 2 K40s I recommend running 2 independent jobs on each node and allocating 1 K40 and 1 core to each job.

All the best
Ross
