[AMBER] Poor Performance of Thermodynamic Integration using pmemd.cuda

Dear Amber users:

I'm now using Amber 20 and RTX 2080Ti to simulate a membrane protein system. This system contains ~80,000 atoms in total. In regular simulations, the speed is about 110 ns/d, which is quite acceptable. However, once I turned on the Thermodynamic Integration module, the speed drops sharply to only 24 ns/d. This is quite strange, since the manual says "Performance of the PME TI pmemd implementation is approximately 75% that of a regular PME MD simulation", and this also makes sufficient sampling difficult.

Does anyone have a clue to this? Any help is appreciated.

bests,
Kevin
