Yes, i find bigger than expected gains for intel and pgi over gnu
on xeon e5-2680 broadwell [gpu is P100].

Resources Performance(s) ns/day exe
owens gnu nodes=1:ppn=28:gpus=1 415 208 pmemd.cuda
owens intel nodes=1:ppn=28:gpus=1 416 208 pmemd.cuda
owens gnu nodes=1:ppn=28 serial 44953 1.92 pmemd
owens intel nodes=1:ppn=28 serial 37936 2.28 pmemd
owens pgi nodes=1:ppn=28 serial 40887 2.11 pmemd

intel/16.0.3
pgi/17.3.0
