Hi,
I am using a git-4.6 version of Gromacs (because I need to test AdResS
functionality), but with a relatively recent version (2012-09-24) on
grompp I get this warning:
Reading file topol.tpr, VERSION 4.6-dev-20120924-c42f47a (single precision)
Making 3D domain decomposition 2 x 2 x 2
* WARNING * WARNING * WARNING * WARNING * WARNING * WARNING *
We have just committed the new CPU detection code in this branch,
and will commit new SSE/AVX kernels in a few days. However, this
means that currently only the NxN kernels are accelerated!
In the mean time, you might want to avoid production runs in 4.6.
And in fact the run is too slow for my purposes. Of course I understand
regressions happen and the warning is fine, I'm not complaining. But
just to plan my work, is there any rough idea on when the kernels will
be back? I looked a bit on the Git repos but I didn't find anything that
looks related to this, apart perhaps from this commit:
http://repo.or.cz/w/gromacs.git/commit/7b6508e8318d1d045826616317f8edbaf4658e3b
So, are kernels back? Are they not? If not, when should I check again? :)
cheers,
Massimo
