Hi Marcela,

Our lab also uses a slurm queuing system. We use the below script, which is
similar to your script, to submit 2 replica REMD jobs to one node.

  #!/bin/bash
  #SBATCH -N 1
  #SBATCH --tasks-per-node 2
  #SBATCH --gres=gpu:2

   mpirun -np 2 /opt/amber/bin/pmemd.cuda.MPI -O -ng 2 -groupfile groupremd

So, I do not see anything wrong with your submission script. Since your CPU
jobs run fine, I think there might be some issue with the way the GPUs are
configured on your cluster. Note: CPU REMD jobs require 2 cpus per replica
whereas the GPU REMD jobs require only 1 gpu per replica.

I just ran the test cases with 2 and 4 replicas, they all pass for me. If
you are having issues with the test cases, I think something might be wrong
with the way files are being sourced. I don't think it is a compiler issue
either. We use gnu compilers on our cluster and all tests pass for us.

Can you run the test cases inside the directory that David Case pointed
out? There is a Run.rem.sh file inside AMBERHOME/test/cuda/remd/rem_2rep_gb
directory. Executing this file should not give the error message that input
files were not found. If this doesn't work, then can you post the error the
user had? They might have had a different error instead of input files not
being found.

.David Case: I looked at the files in test/cuda/remd folder. rem_gb_2rep,
rem_gb_4rep, rem_wat are not used at all. Deleting those folders did not
affect any of the test cases; they all passed.

Best,
Koushik
