[gmx-users] Gromacs-GPU benchmark test killed after exhausting the memory

Hi,

First I thought that there might be a memory leak which could have
caused this if you ran for really long time. However, I've just ran
the very same benchmark (dhfr with PME) for one hour, monitored the
memory usage and I couldn't see any change whatsoever (see the plot
attached).

I've attached a script I used to monitor the memory usage, feel free
to use if you want check again.

Cheers,
