Not really, but it is the normal behavior on hosts where the runtime
is not compatible with the driver or there is simply no driver
installed.

I believe I have requested the GPU resources correctly because I could compile GROMACS with GPU support on the GPU nodes, although the resulting mdrun still wasn't able to detect any GPU if I ran it on the same GPU node where it was compiled.
