[AMBER] Amber18 TI on K10 - any known problem?

   Hi,

   Im having problems running TI calculations on old K10 GPUs. About 10% of my
   jobs produce after a while NaNs in the output. Before that, the run looks
   pretty normal. The bombs are not reproducible, when I run the same set of
   ligand perturbations multiple times, its always different perturbations and
   different lambda values that fails. The same systems ran fine multiple times
   with Amber16.

   My setup: Amber18, with all updates installed, RH SL6.8 with Cuda8.0. TI
   with softcoremasks, with/without HMR. I only observe the crashes on
   K10.G1.8GB or K10.G2.8GB, runs on K40m or K40c or GTX1080 cards seem to be
   fine.

   Any idea how I could trace the source of the problem? Any known issues I
   should be aware of - e.g. some weird combination of input parameters that I
   use? For reference, I have attached my mdin file (and please no flames - I
   know that my input parameters do not reflect the current state of the art -
   but hints for improvement are certainly welcome :-).

   Thanks a lot,
   Th.
