Hi,
I read in the latest PLUMED documentation that pmemd.cuda in Amber18 already works with plumed, but (at least in my compilation) it does not recognise plumed=1 flag. Do I have to perform any additional task to make it work? 

thanks!
Mauro

Hi!

As of now you need to follow the plumed manual and patch amber before compiling it.

We are working on an integration similar to the one that you have for sander, but it has not been finalized yet

Hi
i tried the "plumed patch -p" but it does not have any "amber" option... Is it available in plumed-2.5.2 version?

Thanks!
Mauro

I think you should download plumed from github

Thank you very much, that worked (at least pmemd.cuda recognizes the flags).
Now it fails, and writes these lines...
"pmemd.cuda: Plumed.h:2605: plumed_gcreate: Assertion `plumed_gmain.p==((void *)0)' failed.

Do you have any idea of what this means?

Hello! Could you please describe your setup: hardware, distro, kernel, compilers, CUDA version etc that you used for compilation of both AMBER and PLUMED? I've been using that patch for months on different software/hardware flawlessly. You could also try to compile AMBER with -fPIC flag and check if that worked

Hi!
The configure options for amber already had the -fPIC flag...

This is the output of "uname -a"
Linux compute-0-0.local 2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 22 06:48:29 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and the OS is Rocks (kernel version 2.6.32)
The graphic card is a GTX1080, amber is version 18 and PLUMED 2.6 (2.6 branch in git)

Thanks!
Mauro

This is pretty old setup. Tell us please your compiler information. Could you try running your system on another software/hardware?

Thank you Viktor! I tried the exact same procedure in a different (and more up to date) machine and it worked.

Best,
Mauro
