The outputs are on the build slaves, so one needs to log in an
manually check them; I grabbed the ones from the following config:
http://jenkins.gromacs.org/job/Gromacs_Gerrit_master/3533/OPTIONS=Compiler=gcc%20CompilerVersion=4.7%20GMX_GPU=OFF%20CUDA=4.2%20GMX_DOUBLE=ON%20GMX_MPI=OFF%20NRANKS=1%20GMX_CPU_ACCELERATION=SSE4.1%20host=bs_nix1204,label=bs_nix1204/

You can get the tarball from here: https://db.tt/THnW9JKa

PS: couldn't we get the content of .out files to display in the test
result jenkins page? Alternatively, we could copy back some of the
output files to the jeknins server, but this could quickly turn into a
storage challenge.
