[AMBER] 4.5 fold increase in memory consumption for nmr restraints going from amber14 to amber16

Hello,

I noticed a dramatic memory usage increase going from amber14 to amber16 when using nmr center
of mass restraints. I have documented this in this email:


I have run four simulations with nmropt=0 and nmropt=1 and both with
amber14.13 and amber16. Everything else exactly identical. The restrained
atom groups contain only three atoms each, and only one center of mass restrain is used
in the simulation.

I posted the nvidia-smi outputs below in this email, and I uploaded the testcase file to this file
sharing service of my university:https://syncandshare.lrz.de/filestable/MkR2Qld2TDlWZXo4N3N5WXdndG1y
The ex_init.sh files execute the simulations, I would appreciate to be informed if these
test cases work for you or not. (If you are interested in receiving these files via mail
I'll be happy to send them to you or to the whole mailing list if that is desired)


To the nvidia-smi outputs:

Please pay attention only to the 0-th GPU as this is the one I was
using. Notice the increase in memory use even without nmr restraints
from amber14 to 16 is small while with nmr restraint it is about a
factor of 4.5.


Best,

Paul Westphälinger


I'll post the nvidia-smi outputs here:
