yes, I have run the runBenchmarks.sh.

The MD simulations of all systems in the test package were concluded
without any problem, with benchamarks similar to the one reported on the
website and after about 30 min.

The problem was encountered when finally the "STMV_production_NPT_4fs"
was investigated.

The simulations started but at step 9000/10000 several **** appear in
the mdout. Similar problems were found when the time_step is reduced to 2fs.

In order to understand if there are structural defects on my
GPU/workstation, I'd like to know which are the characteristics
(compilers, Linux version, cudatoolkit version, and nVidia driver) of
the workstation usually implementing RTX2080Ti for pmemd.cuda calculations.

Thanks for you reply, Dave.
