I tried that way it basically creates 4 jobs and takes hold of 4 cpus but the problem is that it shows to take more time than it would normally without mpirun..and not only that a weird thing starts happening.Once being progressed to some steps it retreats back again to an older one and sometimes it just loops around in that fashion calculating practically the same set of steps over and over again.

I somehow feel that the tpr file which is needed for the mdrun was not built properly to run on 4 separate cores simultaneously.ANd that is why maybe actually the 4 cores are running the same copy of the program and so the same steps.And what i see is kinda race condition.I guess i compiled it properly with mpi so..now i am helpless.

Thanks for your help.Waiting for some more.

Please post the following information:

1. The exact series of commands you gave when installing Gromacs.
2. The exact commands you are issuing to create your job (grompp and mdrun).

        mdrun on a quad core as in version 4.0.2 grompp -np is not a
        valid comand can anybody help me in building a tpr file for
        parallel run on 4 cores of a quad core machine .I have installed
        gromacs using Open MPI Library and my files are suffixed as _mpi.
