Re: Failure to run namd-cuda with gtx-470

Replying as the author:

Solved by setting persistent mode and monitoring from a ssh-linked
desktop. The gtx470 machine appears from its terminal (no X system was
raised) as if it were hanged (keyboard not sensed, terminal blinking
at a stage long before namd md had started), actually it is working
regularly (top -i: 6 processors; nvidia-smi -q - d TEMPERATURE output
90, 85), correct *.log. To avoid software problems to the gtx-470
machine, shutdown will have to be issued from the desktop. I wonder
whether there is a problem with nvidia latest driver using gtx470
(problems started from upgrading to latest driver), however i don't
mind as far as i can work. chiendarret
