[gmx-users] gromacs gpu code

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

The CUDA support within the GROMACS CMake setup is not designed with such a
use in mind - only mdrun supports GPU acceleration now, and I have heard
very few suggestions of analysis tasks that are sufficiently
computationally demanding vs IO intensive to warrant even CPU-based
parallelism. Nonetheless, such a thing can likely be done. I would suggest
you get some experience building/reviewing the CMake support of a CUDA tool
that is simpler than mdrun. Our setup is complex because we try to do all
manner of auto-detection to make it easier for inexperienced users to build
GROMACS, so having some general CMake+CUDA experience will make
understanding what we do easier.
