Thanks George,

I tried your suggestion and saw considerable improvement on the GPUs. So, over the weekend I tried a few variations. FWIW, smaller values of SHAKE tolerance had worse energy conservation. Fortunately, I was able to get acceptable energy conservation with

cut=9
dsum_tol=1e-7
dt=0.0005

Heating is about 0.1 K over 50 ns, at least for this test system.

Thanks,

Tyler
