I've solved previous problem but havent been able to launch
mdrun-openmm. Below you can find mdrun's output

Back Off! I just backed up md_test.log to ./#md_test.log.3#
Reading file md_test.tpr, VERSION 4.6-beta3 (single precision)
Changing nstlist from 10 to 40, rlist from 1 to 1.146

Compiled acceleration: None (Gromacs could use AVX_256 on this
machine, which is better)

1 GPU detected:
  #0: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670, compute cap.: 3.0, ECC:  no, stat: compatible

1 GPU auto-selected to be used for this run: #0

Program mdrun-openmm, VERSION 4.6-beta3
Source code file:
/home/own/gromacs-4.6-beta3/src/kernel/openmm_wrapper.cpp, line: 1367

Fatal error:
OpenMM exception caught while initializating: Error setting device
flags cannot set while device is active in this process

website at http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors


I'm still using cuda-5-toolkit with the 304.54 driver. Also my
question about openCL is still valid. I've browesed manual but didnt
found how I can compile gromacs with openCL instead of Cuda. On openMM
group developers told me that openCL would give much performance for
gpu-accelerated simulation in comparison to the CUDA.
