Hey,

thank you for the hint. I just finished the tests. The machine is   
Intel xeon R, 12 cores , 4 Teslas M2090  and 96 gb of memory.
I used the most demanding PME dhfr benchmark system ( 7000w + protein)  
and obtained the following results:

1 cpu core run: 2.135 ns a day
12 cpu cores run: 21.478 ns a day

1 gpu unit run ( how many cpu cores are used, one ? ):   13.0 ns/day

4  parallel gpu runs on the node,  performance:   12.884, 10.296,  
8.290 and  6.953 ns/day, which is on average about  9.6 ns for one gpu.

 From your experience, are this expected numbers ? From the benchmarks  
on the website I had e feeling that the gpu runs will be faster.

Greetings

Andrzej
