[gmx-developers] Little bug in particle decomposition due to PME nodes

[Jochen Hub]

Hi,

when running the CVS mdrun (Version 3.3.99_development_20080718) on 4 
nodes with particle decompostion, I get the following error:

-------------------------------------------------------
Program mdrun, VERSION 3.3.99_development_20080718
Source code file: partdec.c, line: 235

Fatal error:
Atomid 86858 is larger than number of atoms (69496)
-------------------------------------------------------

The error is due to cr->npmenodes which is set to -1 by default. This 
way split_top (in partdec.c) tries to split the sytesm into 5 
(=nnodes-npmenodes) parts. When trying to circumvent that with -npme 0 I 
get I segmentation fault.

Has this bug already been corrected during the last month (our 
CVS-Version is from June 18th)?

Cheers, Jochen
