Alexis, What is the problem? Have you read the relevant docs of what CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES does? https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-programming-guide/#env-vars BTW, you can use, but you *do not need* CUDA_VISIBLE devices to control the mapping of GPU(s) to mdrun process, the -gpu_id variable

Hi, Do any other programs, e.g. CUDA SDK samples (like deviceQuery) detect both GPUs? I find it *very-very* unlikely that only mdrun would not be able detect both GPUs. Again, are you sure it's not the use of CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES that creates the confusion? Please share your full command line

Hi Guillem, I can answer your last question - the 10xx series does indeed work well with GROMACS (currently running GROMACS 2016 with a GTX1070), although I would be inclined to get the GTX1070 if your budget can stretch to it. Andrew On Fri, Dec 2, 2016 at 6:15 AM, Guillem Prats Ejarque <
