Dear justin
Thank you for your previous reply
Now i am trying to run the parallel gromacs simulation (gromacs 4.5.5)
first of all i have successfully installed debain package of
gromacs-openmpi
for that i have configured and compiled using the following command
./configure --enable-mpi --enable-double
--prefix=/usr/local/mpigromacs --program-suffix=_mpi_d
then I issued the
make
make mdrun
As you will see in the
http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Installation_Instructions, there is
no need to do both "make mdrun" and "make" because the former does part
of latter. Likewise for "make install-mdrun" and "make install". However
it doesn't hurt.
make install
make install-mdrun
It compiles nicely and successfully
I have few doubt
1) should i need to install both rpm of openmpi (coresponding to my
OS) and Debain of gromacs-openmpi ? (compatible to my Linux OS) Now
i have both
You've installed GROMACS from source already. You have no need of a
binary distribution in an .rpm or .deb. However that binary probably is
linked to FFTW3, which your source installation was not, so PME will
likely be much faster. You should probably get rid of the source
installation, and do it again following
http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Installation_Instructions, or use
the binary distribution.
Otherwise is it enough to install only Debain gromacs-openmpi to
install gromacs in paralleel
Probably it is.
2) how to check Wheather Parallel installation of gromacs ? wheater is
installed parallely or not?
Something named gromacs-openmpi, or successfully configured --with-mpi
is very likely to run in parallel with MPI. That's the point of the name!
I have installed on single Hyper threading supported intel pentium i5
(dual core processor,four thread)
it means i amusing thread based parallelism not mpi based parallelism
(i know the performance may be poor, though later i will extend this
to clustering)
No. See http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Installation_Instructions.
Hyper-threading is useless for GROMACS, and you have configured with
MPI, which prevents attempting to use threading of any sort.
please tell me The Above my understandings is correct or not
if ther are any wrong things in the compilation procedure Please
give me some tips to rectify error?
I am very grateful to your valuable reply
Also if the above procedure is correct
Can i run the gromacs parallel simulation using the following command
mdrun_mpi_d -nt 8 -s topol.tpr
mdrun -nt is not available with an MPI-configured mdrun, and likely
exits with an error.
Mark
Don't i Need mpirun command ?
Thanks in Advance
