Gromacs has shown vastly improved performance between versions. v5 delivered about 20 ns/day per K20 server and 350 ns/day on GTX server. v2018 delivered 75 ns/day per K20 server and 900 ns/day on GTX server. A roughly 3x improvement. | Gromacs has shown vastly improved performance between versions. v5 delivered about 20 ns/day per K20 server and 350 ns/day on GTX server. v2018 delivered 75 ns/day per K20 server and 900 ns/day on GTX server.

- | On the P100 test node, I could not invoke the multidir option of gromacs (have run it on GTX, weird). The utilization of the gpu drops as more and more gpus are deployed. | + | On the P100 test node, I could not invoke the multidir option of gromacs (have run it on GTX, weird).
