Hello,

I wonder if there is any release of HIP version of the namd 3 ?

&gt;
&gt; Hi Michael,
&gt;
&gt; I have NAMD3 running with CUDA 10 on my cluster. I got a copy of the
&gt; source from gitlab.
&gt;
&gt; https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://gitlab.com/tcbgUIUC/namd__;!!DZ3fjg!oGE0nGoRal7nV7lEzLdJsLjX376iV7WJNvSe9ZFp002XAcmFUzLWKQHR4L21njhdHA$
&gt;
&gt; It is in the devel branch, and it tagged as 3.0a9. I have compilation
&gt; instructions that are what I used (or at least what I think I used from
&gt; memory) on github.
&gt; https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/jvermaas/Software-Building-Instructions/blob/main/NAMD.md__;!!DZ3fjg!oGE0nGoRal7nV7lEzLdJsLjX376iV7WJNvSe9ZFp002XAcmFUzLWKQHR4L3sGWKUNA$
&gt;
&gt; Compilation with NAMD3 from there is basically the same as it would be
&gt; anywhere else. You need charm++ compiled, followed by NAMD itself. The
&gt; hardest part for me was actually sorting out which of the many openMPI
&gt; implementations installed on the cluster had the PMI backend so I could
&gt; just call srun if I wanted to do replica exchange stuff.

&gt; &gt; Hi everyone,
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; It appears that the namd 3 alpha 9 builds now require CUDA 11.0 (or
&gt; &gt; something even newer? not sure.) Is this absolutely necessary? I'm
&gt; &gt; asking because our compute cluster is stuck with CUDA 10 and CUDA 10
&gt; &gt; compatible device drivers, because a pretty substantial software stack
&gt; &gt; has been compiled against this version. The admins are somewhat
&gt; &gt; hesitant to update the device drivers, because they don't think that
&gt; &gt; running CUDA 10 apps with newer device drivers will be flawless.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; So, long story short: Could NAMD3 be compiled against CUDA 10? If so,
&gt; &gt; is there any way to access the source code? As far as I can tell, only
&gt; &gt; source codes for the 2.x series and nightly snapshots are available.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Thanks a bunch,
&gt; &gt; Michael
