[gmx-users] Heterogeneous GPU cluster question?

[Smith, Micholas D.]

Dear users (and developers),

My sys. admin. is exploring purchasing some more GPU nodes for our cluster and was curious if we could get away with running GROMACS on a cluster that has two different types of GPUs, i.e. 70% of the nodes have 2 p100 gpus while 30% have volta (both have 2 gpu's per node).? 

I've been looking through the mailing list, but haven't bumped into this situation before. 

My inclination was to just purchase the "older" p100 since that is what all of the nodes are currently sporting, but thought I would ask to see if anyone has tried this kind of set-up before.

Thanks,

-Micholas

The contents of index.ndx are irrelevant unless you've actually specific
which energygrps you want to define (in the .mdp file). Also, why are
you using -maxwarn 1? This should almost never be done.
