Re: CUDA error memcpy to exclusions: invalid argument

I am using a C2050 GPU on a machine with 64GB RAM. As I checked the GPU
card has 64KB constant memory so there must be not a problem with the card.

Using a newer version of the NAMD gives an error implying that there is a
problem with conf file : ERROR(S) IN THE CONFIGURATION FILE
But the same conf file works fine without a CUDA card.

Best,
Haleh
