[gmx-developers] Gromacs on Mare Nostrum (Barcelona Supercomputing Centre)

[Erik Lindahl]

Hi Tsjerk,

We'll get in touch with them, but considering we've run tons of  
protein in parallel without unfolding even with v 3.2.1, I think it's  
more probably that this is an error with the compiler/setup/user.

We can't rule out a bug of course (in particular since PPC970 + IBM  
compilers isn't such a common combination), but we're a bit irritated  
that they don't even seem to have bothered getting in touch with is  
to get help before claiming it's a bug...

Cheers,

Erik
