Dear all,
First time "Linux" user so apologies in advance for missing some basics.
First, I made sure to install WSL2 correctly with NVIDIA drivers and cuda
toolkit properly working. (This took a lot of troubleshooting and jumping
between 3-4 different installation guides, but it eventually worked.) I
successfully installed Amber20 for WSL following a combination of these
instructions
<
https://www.ovetande.se/software/amber/install/ambertools19-windows10-wsl/>
and
Googling. I went through the PolyAT tutorial
<
https://ambermd.org/tutorials/basic/tutorial1/section5.php> and
successfully ran everything except MD Equilibration on the whole system
(step 5.1.6). This demonstrates that serial CPU amber works. Now, I wanted
to use the gpu-accelerated version of sander to save time. I followed these
instructions <
https://ambermd.org/GPUHowTo.php> to install the GPU code.
Specifically:
cd $AMBERHOME
make clean
./configure -cuda gnu (or intel)
make install
make test
My system passes all the tests (14 file comparisons passed, 0 file
comparisons failed, 0 tests experienced errors). This plus the tests I
tried with the WSL2/NVIDIA driver (unofficial) guide
<
https://towardsdatascience.com/wsl2-nvidia-gpu-driver-for-directml-and-tensor-flow-82996bb080b0>
indicates to me that the GPU is working.
However, when I try a simulation with:
${AMBERHOME}/bin/pmemd.cuda -O -i mdin -o mdout -p prmtop -c inpcrd \
-r restrt -x mdcrd -inf mdinfo
It tells me that there is no such file or directory. I navigate in an
explorer window to my home/lucyyang/amber20_src/bin/ I do not see
pmemd.cuda in there. Did I miss something? cpptraj.cuda , mdx.cuda , and
pbsa.cuda are all in there. I did not find anything useful via
Googling/searching this list's archives.
I have been very close to asking you guys some questions during the entire
process but eventually a solution after Googling. This time I'm at my wit's
end, I hope someone can help me
Lucy
side note: sander.MPI works but takes the same amount of time to run as
sander. but maybe that is due to using the relatively small file in the
tutorial <
https://ambermd.org/tutorials/basic/tutorial1/section5.php>.
Tutorial says 5.1.3 (minimization stage 1) took 146s on a 1.4 GHz Intel i5.
My system took 65s on a AMD Ryzen 5 6-core 3.60 GHz for both sander and
sander.MPI. Judging by the CPU usage (~14%) it only used 1 core.
