[CP2K-user] [CP2K:20300] Re: Errors in Compiling CP2K 9.1

Firstly, what is the actual system configuration? Is it a native Ubuntu or 
a subsytem like Ubuntu under WSL? I am asking because of the "/mnt/c" path. 
If it is WSL, can you copy/move the files to your subsystem directory like 
your home or a scratch directory?

Secondly, what was the exact run command to start the toolchain (not a 
description)? What was the exact output (not a description)?

Thirdly, I do not recommend to run your code on a consumer GPU like an RTX 
card. They perform well with single precision numbers but are not better 
than CPUs in case of double precision operations which are employed in 99 % 
of the cases of CP2K. This means, we usually do not expect a performance 
boost on consumer GPUs in contrast to high-performance GPUs.
