Dear Amber Users,

I tried to install Amber 16 on my computer;


- GeForce GTX480

- NVIDIA Driver Version = 375.39

- Cuda version 8.0

- gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4) 5.4.0


I successfully complied and installed the program.

*./configure -cuda gnu*

Cleaning the src directories. This may take a few moments.

*Configure complete*


*source amber.sh*

*make install*

make[4]: Leaving directory
'/home/kanin/Softwares/AMBER16/amber16/src/pmemd/src'

make[3]: Leaving directory
'/home/kanin/Softwares/AMBER16/amber16/src/pmemd/src'

*Installation of pmemd.cuda complete*

make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/kanin/Softwares/AMBER16/amber16/src/pmemd'

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/kanin/Softwares/AMBER16/amber16/src'


*make test *

However, during testing the programs I got several errors; for example,

cd cellulose/ && ./Run.cellulose_nvt_256_128_128 DPFP
/home/kanin/Softwares/AMBER16/amber16/include/netcdf.mod

*cudaMalloc GpuBuffer::Allocate failed out of memory*

*./Run.cellulose_nvt_256_128_128: Program error*

*Makefile:166: recipe for target 'test.pmemd.cuda.pme.big' failed*

*make[3]: [test.pmemd.cuda.pme.big] Error 1 (ignored)*

cd cellulose/ && ./Run.cellulose_nvt DPFP
/home/kanin/Softwares/AMBER16/amber16/include/netcdf.mod

cudaMalloc GpuBuffer::Allocate failed out of memory

./Run.cellulose_nvt: Program error

Makefile:166: recipe for target 'test.pmemd.cuda.pme.big' failed

make[3]: [test.pmemd.cuda.pme.big] Error 1 (ignored)

cd cellulose/ && ./Run.cellulose_npt DPFP
/home/kanin/Softwares/AMBER16/amber16/include/netcdf.mod

cudaMalloc GpuBuffer::Allocate failed out of memory

./Run.cellulose_npt: Program error

Makefile:166: recipe for target 'test.pmemd.cuda.pme.big' failed

make[3]: [test.pmemd.cuda.pme.big] Error 1 (ignored)

make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/kanin/Softwares/AMBER16/amber16/test/cuda'

make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/kanin/Softwares/AMBER16/amber16/test'

124 file comparisons passed

8 file comparisons failed

15 tests experienced errors


and when I checked the file.diff there are a big difference in the values;
for example,

471c471

< EKCMT = 8798.1084 VIRIAL = 19449.8548 VOLUME = 366869.6118

> EKCMT = 8793.6574 VIRIAL = 19292.8185 VOLUME = 366873.2544

> NSTEP = 40 TIME(PS) = 50.040 TEMP(K) = 2.11 PRESS = 32.6

481c481

I successfully installed AMBER16 by using the same compiler, same version
of NVIDIA driver, CUDA, and Ubuntu but on different GPUs; Tesla C2075,
Quadro 6000, and GeForce GTX 1080 without any problems. So I think, it
might be because of GTX480 or not. Any suggestions to solve this problems.
Thank you in advance.
