Ben Madej has been working extensively on this over the last few months so
I will let him provide an update here but my understanding is that this is
fixed although what is in the master branch is NOT up to date.
NOTE to all - the GPU code (and quite a bit of the PMEMD code) in the
master is VERY out of date and you should not be using this as your
reference for how things stand. It was left like this because a lot of
people use the git tree for production runs and I didn't want to cause
issues with development code. The current state of the art for pmemd and
pmemd.cuda is thus the GPU_Tachyon branch and this is where development
has been going on. This week I plan to replace the master for
$AMBERHOME/src/pmemd/ with the contents of GPU_Tachyon.
All the best
Ross
