Notes

  • GPU version is available both for P100 and V100. Please note that bf11-volta version might show better performance on V100.
  • module name: amber/18/bugfix12
  • Files are installed in /local/apl/lx/amber18-bf12 directory.
  • Samples are available under samples/ directory.
  • Environment setting script (amber.sh, amber.csh) can be found in /local/apl/lx/amber18-bf12 directory. Note that those scripts do not set CUDA-9.1 paths.
  • CUDA-9.1 setting is necessary if you want to use CUDA version binaries. GPU version samples in samples/ directory may be useful.
  • You can find test logs in logs/ directory. All the tests except for CUDA versions are performed at one of the front-end nodes. CUDA version is tested on a V100 node.
