Re: [AMBER] CUDA and driver version for Nvidia Titan Black and Titan Z GPUs cluster

We recommend CUDA 9.1 or 9.2 because of the performance benefits of the
latest compilers (also the speed of compilation itself is improved).
However, for Amber14 I'm not sure what compilers will work. You can
probably run CUDA8 for a compromise between the old and new Amber.
However, we have found some issues that were fixed in Amber18 (and
retroactively in Amber16) but did not get ported all the way back to
Amber14. Upgrading is always a good idea!
