Dear Roland,

We need to run the GROMACS on the base of the nodes of our cluster (in order to use all computational resources of the cluster), that's why we need MPI (instead of using thread or OpenMP within the SMP node). I can run simple MPI examples, so I guess the problem on the implementation of the Gromacs.


Regads,
Hrach

This seems to be a problem with your MPI library. Test to see whether other MPI programs don't have the same problem. If it is not GROMACS specific please ask on the mailinglist of your MPI library. If it only happens with GROMACS be more specific about what your setup is (what MPI library, what hardware, ...).

Also you could use the latest GROMACS 4.5.x. It has built in thread support and doesn't need MPI as long as you only run on n cores within one SMP node.

    Dear Mark Abraham & all,

    We  used another benchmarking systems, such as d.dppc on 4
    processors, but we have the same problem (1 proc use about 100%,
    the others 0%).
    After for a while we receive the following error:

    We tried new version of Gromacs, but receive the same error.
    Please, help us to overcome the problem.


    With regards,
    Hrach

            Dear all,

            I would like to inform you that I have installed the
            gromacs4.0.7 package on the cluster (nodes of the cluster
            are 8 core Intel, OS: RHEL4 Scientific Linux) with the
            following steps:

            yum install fftw3 fftw3-devel
            ./configure --prefix=/localuser/armen/gromacs --enable-mpi

            Also I have downloaded gmxbench-3.0 package and try to run
            d.villin to test it.

            Unfortunately it wok fine until np is 1,2,3, if I use more
            than 3 procs I receive low CPU balancing and the process
            in hanging.

            Could you, please, help me to overcome the problem?


        Probably you have only four physical cores (hyperthreading is
        not normally useful), or your MPI is configured to use only
        four cores, or these benchmarks are too small to scale usefully.

        Choosing to do a new installation of a GROMACS version that is
        several years old is normally less productive than the latest
        version.

        Mark
