[gmx-users] GROMACS in parallel on Dual CPU Linux machine

[Pratul K. Agarwal]

Hi,

I am having problems running GROMACS on 2 CPUs on a dual AMD 
box. The serial run is just fine but the parallel run goes 
crazy and spits garbage. In addition the lamd goes crazy and 
uses upto 99.9% of CPU for quite some time.

Any help to figure this problem would be highly appreciated.
