[AMBER] Problem to submit a pH-REMD on a GPU node

Hi,

We tried to run a pH-REMD simulation with 8 replicas on a GPU node (having
8 CPUs and 4 GPUs). The script is pasted as below:

unset CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES

export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3

mpirun -np 8 $AMBERHOME/bin/pmemd.cuda.MPI -ng 8 -groupfile groupfile -rem
4 -remlog pHremd.log

But the results suggested we'd better to have 12 or 16 replicas. So we
tried to submit 16 replicas in the same node, using:

mpirun -np 16 $AMBERHOME/bin/pmemd.cuda.MPI -ng 16 -groupfile groupfile
-rem 4 -remlog pHremd.log

But it failed with an error of "MPI size is not a multiple of -ng". We
couldn't understand why it works for 8 replicas but not 16. Or is there any
trick to make it work? Thanks.

Regards,

Yong
