Hi,

I was able to install pmemd.cuda only if I use the old ./configuration
method. In this way the link between gcc7 and cuda 10.2, as such for
example |sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-7.xx /usr/local/cuda/bin/gcc| is
possible. However, this is not possible using the new cmake procedure.

Further, I notice significant performance drop of Amber20 in comparison
to Amber18. I don't know whether this is due to the compilation process
make v.s cmake as this has been already noticed for Sander.

These are the numbers obtained by GTX 2080Ti and Factor X system:

Steps            Amber20               Amber18

10K             177.06ns/day        198.31

50K             175.33ns/ day        196.18

Any comments and sharing experience by other users could be helpful.


Regards,

Filip
