Re: [AMBER] error while installing AMBER for GPU

Hi Malkeet,

Did you take a look at the mdout file? It should have contained a very clear error message generated by the following code:

Line 2277 of src/pmemd/src/mdin_ctrl_dat.F90 of a fully patched Amber 16 + AmberTools17

#ifdef MPI
  if ( imin .ne. 0 ) then
      write(mdout, '(a)') 'CUDA (GPU): Minimization is NOT supported in &
                          &parallel on GPUs. Please use'
      write(mdout, '(a)') ' the single GPU code for minimizations.'
      inerr = 1
  end if
#endif

If it did not then we need to take a closer look at why that error trap is not triggering or is missing from your version of the source code.

All the best
Ross
