Thanks for the response. On further investigation, the problem only seems to occur in jobs running via MPI on our GPU-enabled nodes, even if the simulation in question doesn't use GPUs. Re-compiling gromacs 4.6.3 without CUDA support eliminates the memory-hogging behavior. However, I'd like to actu

It is only a simple question, not a criticism of any kind. I'm sure there may be perfect reasons to choose one implementation over another. To someone who is not familiar with the history of gmx development, it is something to be aware of. That's all. On Wed, Sep 18, 2013 at 4:56 PM, Mark Abraham

Implementation and description of a model physics are two different things. You could compute KE of a particle with 0.5 * m * v^2, but if the mass is used nowhere else, why wouldn't you pre-multiply the mass by 0.5? Mark On Wed, Sep 18, 2013 at 4:31 PM, Guanglei Cui wrote: > hmm, does that mean

There are technical differences between versions about how the VDW parameters are computed. You should not expect .tpr equivalence between minor version changes such as 4.0 and 4.6. You need to compile a 4.0.x grompp to see if your setup is equivalent, but having done so you should be able to use t

It turns out the difference is mainly in the force field parameters, which indicates the top file provided may not be the one used to produce the tpr file. Perhaps it is best to contact the authors, unless the difference is due to certa

Thanks for the follow up. The take-home lesson is that building for BlueGene/Q is unlike building for the usual homogenous x86 cluster. You still need an MPI and non-MPI build, but the latter should be targeted at the front end (Linux on PowerPC, usually), unless/until GROMACS tools acquire MPI fu
