My namd is cuda build; but I am extremely disappointed with its performance as it gives me like 0.21 ns/ day while with the same system gromacs give me the performance of more than 300 ns/day. I really can't fathom what's the issue here as namd2 is using the GPU when I see the GPU processes using nvidia-smi. The command I typically use to run the simulation is:namd2 +p8 .... .conf | tee  .... .log Do I need to specify anything extra in the command? or in my configuration file. Thanks.With best regards-- Roshan ShresthaM.Sc (Physics)Central Department of Physics, Tribhuvan UniversityKathmandu, Nepal
