Dear all,

I have access to A100 cards, and encountered this weird behaviour in the
past, before
following precisely the protocole by Callum Dickson:

https://github.com/callumjd/AMBER-Membrane_protein_tutorial

The tricky part between my former parameters and his (I don't use HMR
for production)
was during the second heating step where the timestep is 1fs instead of 2fs.

Double check carefully his parameters and yours, and you may probably
also find the culprit.

If you wish to test on another setup (the card may be broken, after all,
or NVIDIA cuda at fault?),
just send a link on the list with minimal paramters (rst, prmtop and
md.in) so we can give you output
from elsewhere. I regularly do CPU job first (or GPU) on my machine,
then continue on the supercomputer
and with the aforementionned protocol, it works perfectly.

HTH,

Stéphane
