[gmx-developers] gromacs 3.3

[Rainer Böckmann]

Dear All:

 we faced a problem on dual dual-core opterons (2GHz) using gromacs 
3.3_rc2/3:

While the Lys/PME benchmark (few minutes runtime) gives very nice 
results (6.83 ns/day), runs appear to be quite unstable. E.g. a membrane 
simulation (PME) on the four cores will stop after one to ten hours, 
without any error message.  To be more precise, the jobs appear to be 
still running but do not produce any output after a while (cpu 
temperature <=65 degrees, memory exchanged).

Details:
suse 9.3, kernel 2.6.11
gromacs 3.3_rc2 (gromacs 3.3_rc3)
fftw 2.1.5 (fftw 3.0.1)
lam 7.1.1

Is there any solution for this problem?

Thanks!
Rainer
