Thank you very much Mark. Another question, will be better if I compile FFTW than use the one included in my linux distro?

Per the GROMACS installation instructions, you want the precision of FFTW to match the precision of GROMACS. You'll have to find out what precision of FFTW is available for your distro and then decide. Note that single-precision will often be labelled fftwf or fftws, and double-precision fftw or fftwd.

        Sorry about that.

        The default options are nearly optimal, and the difference
        between a
        modern (4.4 or 4.5) series GCC and the Intel compilers are only a
        couple of percent.  Just be sure to have FFTW available.


    ... if planning to use PME. Also, Intel MKL is only a percent or
    two faster than FFTW3, last I tested, but much more fiddly to link.

                Dear Users:

                We recently received our new computer.  This computer
                have 4 multicore
                Opteron AMD cpus and I am planning to install GROMAS.
                Which options I will
                need to use in order to achieve the best possible
                performance?
                Which compiler GNU or Intel?

                Thank you for all you help.

                Anthony
