Hi, 

I have a naive question:

In your log file there are only 2 GPUs being detected:

2 GPUs detected on host gpu42:
  #0: NVIDIA Tesla K20m, compute cap.: 3.5, ECC: yes, stat: compatible
  #1: NVIDIA Tesla K20m, compute cap.: 3.5, ECC: yes, stat: compatible

In the end you selected 8 GPUs

8 GPUs user-selected for this run: #0, #0, #0, #0, #1, #1, #1, #1

Did you choose 8 GPUs or 2 GPUs? What is your mdrun command?

Thank you,
