GROMACS version: 2022.3, 2022.5, 2023.1 GROMACS modification: No Hello, I’ve been having issues, trying all three of these GROMACS distributions. I’m running on an HPC, and I have included the basic error logs for the outputs of cmake and make check for the blank run after logging into the HPC. After gcc-7.5.0 fails, I install gcc-10/g+±10 and try the installation once more with the updated GNU against CUDA 11.1. I am wondering if the nvcc flags for sm\_89 and sm\_90 in the initial cmake run are indicative of the error I’m receiving in make. With gcc-7.5.0, as per the release notes, cmake assumes its OK, but we see the actual failed test when I’mrunning on gcc-10. I’ve even re-installed cmake to custom directories independently, one with the base gnu and one with gcc-10 and run the gcc-10 cmake towards a gcc-10 GROMACS installation. None of this has seemed to alleviate these failed tests. Interestingly, I was able to install GROMACS 2022.3 earlier in the week, but the installation stopped working (Illegal Instruction). Now, I’ve been unable to produce another successful installation. All previous installations/build attempts have been removed. UPDATE: I performed the same installation with both MPI and CUDA off, and the MdrunIOTest, MdrunTestsOneRank, and MdrunTestsTwoRanks fail during make check. Thus, it seems the nvcc compilation flags are unrelated to the build error. settings upon login: Ubuntu 18.04 gcc 7.5.0, g++ 7.5.0 CMake 3.26.4 - installed to separate directories with cmake using CMAKE\_C\_COMPILER=gcc, CMAKE\_CXX\_COMPILER=g++ and then gcc-10 and g+±10. I source these only before I want to use them in a new terminal. ±----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 450.80.02 Driver Version: 450.80.02 CUDA Version: 11.1 | |-------------------------------±---------------------±---------------------+ | GPU Name Persistence-M| Bus-Id Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr.
