Hmm O_o ??
I’m running REMD without problems over our four Dual-GPU-Nodes with NAMD 2.10 NB from many months ago. Why should this be a problem?

mostly.

i don't know. as far as i know, the NAMD implementation
is entirely based on Tcl script code using a socket interface.
that is an elegant way of implementing REMD without having
the rewrite the executable. i did something similar a while ago
in python using pypar and HOOMD and it was fun to see it
work, but somehow a bit unsatisfactory.
i know of other codes that have such features and other
multi-replica method implemented on a lower level and
they appear to me more elegant to use. that may be
the price to pay.
cheers,
axel.
translated into the present, we found it difficult to run t-remd across cpu/gpus with either namd2.9 or namd2.10 (remd hard cored into the latter). For example, on IBM DX360M3. Difficult, means that it failed in our hands.
cheers
