[gmx-users] RE: Gromacs benchmark --poor performance on XEONmachine

I had installed gromacs on a dual XEON( 2.4GHz ) machine +RedHat 9.0 and I was using np=4( I had enabled hyperthreading).  But I was getting Gfloaps 1.5 and Mnb/f when I was running D.DPPC  -benchmark. This is very low value when we are comparing with the results posted in web site..
   I had installed fftw -foating point and enabled mpi and I am using LAM/MPI 7.0 .
I am not able to find out where I am making mistake. Can anyone tell me any hints.
