Hi

   We recently bought a machine with RTX 4500 ada GPUs. I tried running a
MD of a system on it. The system was stable and gave expected results for
minimization, heating and NVT ensemble parts of the simulation. As soon as
the NPT part of the simulation started, the volume started increasing and
density decreased. I checked all 4 GPUs, all are giving this weird result.
I ran the same system (same parameters and input files) on a different
machine with a different GPU and it was stable throughout the MD process
including NPT ensemble. We use a centralized NFS mounted AMBER and CUDA
installation so AMBER 22 and drivers are identical for both workstations
(software environment is the same). I also tried changing the nVidia driver
version (updated it to the latest) but it did not help.
   Some specifications of the machines used are as follows:

Machine1 ( issues with AMBER NPT simulation):
     AMBER: 22
     CUDA Version: 12.2
     Driver Version: 535.154.05
     GPU: RTX 4500 ada

Machine1 ( no issues with AMBER NPT simulation):
     AMBER: 22
     CUDA Version: 12.2
     Driver Version: 535.154.05
     GPU: RTX A5000
