Hi Mahendran, your minimum domain decomposition cell size seems to be 1.095 nm, as indicated in the error message. Probably your cutoffs are near 1 nm and your system is small. If you need to run on more processors, try 6 and 8, since then 3x2x1, 2x3x1, ... and 2x2x2, ... decompositions can be used. Right now the only possibilities are 5x1x1, 1x5x1, and 1x1x5, yielding a too small DD size in any direction. (What is your max. box length divided by 5?)
