[gmx-users] pull in parallel

[Frauke Meyer]

Hi all, hi Justin,

using the CVS code I tested, if AFM pulling works in parallel.
However, when I start mdrun (VERSION 3.1.99_20020920) with the following
command
  nohup mpirun.ch_gm --gm-v --gm-use-shmem --gm-f conf mdrun -v
  -s topol.tpr -pi pull.ppa
the process is aborted without that any error message is printed. The log
file ends at the point at which the PULL INFO would have been printed.
pull.pdo and ener.edr are generated but empty.

In contrast the same mdrun version works without pulling using
  nohup mpirun.ch_gm --gm-v --gm-use-shmem --gm-f conf mdrun -v
  -s topol.tpr
meaning that the abortion must be due to the pulling.

Using 3.1.4 wiht AFM pulling gives the error message
  'Fatal error: Can not pull in parallel'
prior to abortion, so the CVS version is meant to work in parallel when
pulling, right?

Does somebody has made any experiences with pulling in parallel?
If so, with which code? Could you provide it to me?
Thanks for help,
Frauke
