Hi,

Can you please attach your cfg file and output? I think your example's memory consumption is too high, causing a hang.

If you want to speed up the init, use quiet start (lattice-like in cell positioning of particles) and zero initial temperature.

Two cards, either in the same node or via network/mpi connected will give you nearly a 2x speedup. SLI is not required, cuda can't use and doesn't need it (it's more a frame buffer/gfx/gaming interconnect). Just plug the second card in and use it with -d ... :)

Also, make sure your host=CPU RAM is at least as much as the sum of the RAM of the GPUs in the node (better a bit more).

Best,
Axel
