Running on GPU

Hi,
Previously I asked about gpu utilization of my namd run. Still I have
problem and I need some hints to see what is what. According to the
manual [1], I used the following command

    namd2 +idlepoll +p4 +devices 0 ubq_ws_eq.conf
>namd2_idlepoll_p4_devices_0.txt

The full output is available at https://pastebin.com/Mbp8N2h4

As you can see in the log the GPU is detected. During the run, I see
400% CPU utilization, while nvidia-smi reports about 15% GPU
utilization while a namd2 process with 100MB is there on the gpu.

Any idea? Any idea is appreciated. I have stuck!
