Hello Ross,

Excellent, thank you very much.

On a side question, the current machine I am running on (not my research station) has older hardware to support the amber18. What is considered a "good enough" box size and cut-off for a protein-DNA MD simulation. As I have run some apo- MD sims with a large box (16 Angstrom) and cut-off (14 Angstrom), but the protein-DNA MD sims will take considerably longer, so I was wondering if you could reduce the box size or cut-off or would this disallow comparisons between the apo- system and the protein-DNA system?

Regards,
Dan.

Hi Daniel,

http://ambermd.org/GetAmber.php#amber

At present it's $500 but it will become free for academic users from April 15th 2023 onwards. As such you can either wait until April 15th or you could contact dacase.ambermd.gmail.com<mailto:dacase.ambermd.gmail.com> and see if you can get a fee waiver in the interim.

All the best
Ross

Hello Ross,

Thank you so much for your prompt response. How much is the upgrade fee from AMBER18 to AMBER22 for a UK university institution?

Regards,
Dan.

Hi Daniel,

Your premise is correct - the RTX30XX series of GPUs are not compatible with Amber 18 since they were released several years after Amber 18 was. I suggest upgrading to Amber 22 which will support it. I would also recommend using CUDA 11.8 (since CUDA 10.2 is too old for the RTX3080). Make sure you have the latest NVIDIA driver as well and that nvidia-smi -a correctly identifies the 3080.

All the best
Ross

Hello AMBER users,

I am trying to utilize the NVIDIA 3080 GPU I have installed in my workstation for MD simulations. I have managed to run AMBER Serial and Parallel with use of OPENMPI version 2.1.6 with no problems but I am wanting to run pmemd.cuda with my GPU. I am using the compiler gcc 4.8.5, CUDA 10.2 and running the command

./configure -cuda -noX11 gnu

When I try run

make test

This outputs

0 file comparisons passed
15 file comparisons failed
369 tests experienced errors

I think I have set up the paths correctly

CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda-10.2
AMBERHOME=/home/dhall1/amber/amber18
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-10.2/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

The current error message I get when I try and run the pmemd.cuda command is

cudaMemcpyToSymbol: SetSim copy to cSim failed invalid device symbol

My question is firstly, is the NVIDIA 3080 GPU compatible with AMBER18, secondly what I am doing wrong if AMBER18 is compatible with this GPU?

Thank you in advance for any response.

Regards,
Dan.
