Hello,

When we use ‘mdrun’ or ‘grompp’ with the switch ‘-np’ we specify the number of nodes according to the manual. Does it mean if the nodes have 2 processors, then the simulation will be run on 4 CPUs or in –np we should specify 4 instead of 2?

Tell GROMACS the number of MPI processes you want. If you have two dual-core, dual-processor nodes, that might be 8 processes, etc. Your MPI setup may need to be configured to tell it how to distribute the processes.

grompp -np is not needed or available in GROMACS 4.x
