Thank you for the answer. I compiled gmx with gcc and gnu onpempi.
I have seen very good performance with 16 cpus (about 12,000 atoms). +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (Mnbf/s) (GFlops) (ns/day) (hour/ns) Performance: 50.828 19.920 14.648 1.638 Total Scaling: 95% of max performance +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Now I just submit a job with 32 cpus (about 48,000 atoms). It looks very very slow. Would you recommend the optimal numer of cpus? On Nov 24, 2007 10:53 AM, David van der Spoel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Myunggi Yi wrote: > > Sorry.
