Hi Alain and Gena,

The sample input file on CUDing page was carefully tuned for
the specific computer system for which it was intended.
So, generally, it cannot be used as is without modification.

Indeed, there is a warning message in the output:

 DGEMM will use                                   4 threads.

 CUDA aware parts of program will use             1 devices.

 Creating thread pool to serve up to             64 threads.

 Warning: number of DGEMM        threads exceeds number of allotted CPU cores.

The more general input for dual-core system with no Hyper-Threading and single CUDA device could be as follows as Gena suggested:

 $contrl scftyp=rhf mplevl=4 runtyp=energy icharg=-1 $end              
 $system mwords=200 mklnp=2 np=1 freshf=0 memf=1 flush=0 async=0 $end 
 $smp cuda=.t. dianp=1 $end
 $cuda cuflgs=1 events=1 $end
 $basis gbasis=n311 ngauss=6 npfunc=2 ndfunc=2 diffsp=.t. $end

 $mp4 sdtq=1 trpmet=1 mtio=1 $end 
 $data
