[AMBER] problem with pmemd.cuda and RTX4090

Dear all,

I have successfully build the Amber22 pmemd.cuda code on a system with NVIDIA RTX4090.

It indeed runs extremely fast. However, I noticed that it produces output quite different from results using CPU pmemd or using a RTX3080 card.

This is the output for one MD step on a protein system using pmemd.cuda on RTX4090 (built with cuda11.7, gcc 11.3 ubuntu22.04):


NSTEP = 1 TIME(PS) = 602900.002 TEMP(K) = 348.44 PRESS = 26341.6
 Etot = -150709.4789 EKtot = 31938.7695 EPtot = -182648.2485
 BOND = 599.7020 ANGLE = 1279.5888 DIHED = 1332.9130
 UB = 0.0000 IMP = 0.0000 CMAP = 44.8633
 1-4 NB = 524.8852 1-4 EEL = -715.5685 VDWAALS = 20678.9140
 EELEC = -206393.5464 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT = 0.0000
 EKCMT = 15008.1735 VIRIAL = -247556.8301 VOLUME = 461654.7275
                                                    Density = 1.0066
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


using pmemd (CPU) or pmemd.cuda built on a machine with RTX3080 gives (for same input and restart):


NSTEP = 1 TIME(PS) = 602900.002 TEMP(K) = 339.68 PRESS = -117.2
 Etot = -150385.9274 EKtot = 31136.6108 EPtot = -181522.5382
 BOND = 599.7020 ANGLE = 1279.5888 DIHED = 1332.9127
 UB = 0.0000 IMP = 0.0000 CMAP = 44.8633
 1-4 NB = 524.8852 1-4 EEL = -715.5685 VDWAALS = 20678.9428
 EELEC = -205267.8647 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT = 0.0000
 EKCMT = 15008.1735 VIRIAL = 16176.1626 VOLUME = 461654.7275
                                                    Density = 1.0066

The main difference is the pressure, however, even constant volume runs give very different results after a few MD steps. I also tried to build pmemd.cuda using ubuntu 20.04, cuda11.5 and gcc 9.4 (on RTX4090 system, I use the nvidia-525 driver). I get the same output as for cuda11.7, gcc 11.3 ubuntu22.04.
I probably do something wrong but I don't know what?
Thanks
Martin Zacharias
