[gmx-developers] pull code generalization feedback request

[Berk Hess]

Hi,

Such options would be nice, but this would lead to replication of a 
large part of the bonded code in the pull code (and a crazy amount of 
mdp options). If you are use umbrella potentials, all this can probably 
be achieved with virtual sites and the normal bonded code.

As for parallelization, with domain decomposition this should still work 
up to moderate parallelization when you use mdrun -rdd. In 5.0 we will 
have shifted LJ in the verlet cut-off scheme and then you can run pure 
OpenMP parallelization, where everything will work, or hybrid MPI+OpenMP 
so you can use far fewer domains.

Cheers,

Berk
