Re: [AMBER] Problem about one GPU & multiple CPUs

Hi,

pmemd.cuda is not currently written to take advantage of multiple CPU
cores with a single GPU (i.e. OpenMP + CUDA). Instead, all of the
computationally intensive work is done on the GPU, while a single CPU
thread handles things like IO etc. If you want to use the remaining
CPU threads you could run an analysis job at the same time with e.g.
cpptraj.OMP.

I want to run under one GPU with multiple CPUs, because maybe it will run more efficient. I first tried "mpirun -np xx(CPU numbers) pmemd.cuda -...", the work failed, then I found "pmemd.cuda.MPI" in the manual, but it works with multiple GPUs. I originally consider that "pmemd.cuda" will automaticly call multiple CPUs, but the result is not. Maybe some solutions about this problem I have missed, this problem is still on at present.
