[gmx-users] GPU job failed

[Szilárd Páll]

Hi,

It looks like you're starting two ranks and passing two GPU IDs so it
should work. The only think I can think of is that you are either
getting the two MPI ranks placed on different nodes or that for some
reason "mpirun -np 2" is only starting one rank (MPI installation
broken?).

Does the same setup work with thread-MPI?

Cheers,
