[gmx-developers] getting gromacs to run on ORNL summitdev

Hi Ada,

Firstly of all, please use the latest release, v2016 has been tested
quite well on IBM Minsky nodes.

Not sure which altivec option are you referring to, but none should be
necessary, the build system should generate correct and sufficient
compiler options for decent performance (unless of course you want to
tune them further).

NVML is only needed if you want reporting of the clocks or if you want
to allow mdrun to change these -- which won't work as AFAIK NVIDIA
does not allow user-space process to change clocks on the P100 (and
later?).
make check should also work, but it's easier of you build without
regressiontests enabled in CMake and run the regressiontests
separately. That way you can specify the MPI launcher, custom binary
suffix etc, e.g.
perl gmxtest.pl -mpirun mpirun -np N -ntomp M all


Cheers,
