Hi,

thank you for your answer

the Cmdline is:
gmx mdrun  -deffnm nvt

I played a bit with option -gpu_id, use $CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES  and read
the page http://www.gromacs.org/GPU_acceleration without any succes. One
output is in nvt.log.11,

nvidia-smi returs is in  nvidia-smi.log

Nvidia-smi detect 2 GPUs, but not mdrun.

nvidia-smi.log : https://icloud.ibcp.fr/index.php/s/08jqFsZpWNlSUGh
nvt.log : https://icloud.ibcp.fr/index.php/s/vC5UxCCAhyw9FuC
