[gmx-users] hardware problem of GPU?

[Albert]

Hello Mark:

I contact with my GPU workstation supplier and they said the following:

As mentioned we did all the hardware settings to enable SLI:

1)The graphiccards are connected with the SLI bridge.

2)Additionaly the SLI settings have to be configured in the Nvidia 
driver as follows:

Nvidia Tool: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/nvidia-settings 
<http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/nvidia-settings>

SLI Settings: 
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/177.68/README/chapter-25.html <ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/177.68/README/chapter-25.html>

Please make sure that these settings work correctly.

We don't know what you mean with "one rank". Do you mean the PCIe slots? 
These slots have to be enabled in the BIOS settings and we enabled all 
the PCIe slots.

The hardware settings were enabled for SLI when we delivered the 
workstations. When we tested the workstations before delivery, SLI was 
working. If you want we can controll all the hardware settings to make 
sure, that SLI is still enabled in the hardware. Please contact us for 
this, a technician can control all the hardware settings with you.


thank you very much.

Albert
