Yes, I have encountered this crash with plain Gromacs 4.0.4 as well. I have not tried single processor, but with domain decomposition it runs fine. I am not sure whether it has got to do anything with our parallel architecture though.

In any case, I shall file a report after I reproduce this for a few slightly different systems.

Hi,

Are the crashes with plain 4.0.4, or 4.0.4 with PLUMED?
I have not heard of crashes in 4.0.4 with particle decomposition,
so it might have to do with the link with PLUMED.

Have you tried running 4.0.4 in single processor?

If plain Gromacs 4.0.4 crahes on your system with PD,
please file a report on bugzilla.gromacs.org and attach the tpr file.

Subject: [gmx-users] problem with particle decomposition in gromacs 4.0.4

Hi,

I am trying particle decomposition with gromacs 4.0.4 for a small
polymer (20 atoms) in SPC/E water. Unfortunately every run crashes at
the very beginning without any useful error message, when I use
version 4.0.4 with option -pd. Whereas everything remaining same it's
still running fine in version 3.3.3. I have tried 4, 8, 16 nodes with
the same result. How do I troubleshoot this? I need to use the
particle decomposition method since the PLUMED plugin to perform
metadynamics supports only pd as of now.

Here are the last few lines from the log, stderr and stdout files:
