[gmx-users] problem with MPI version under OSX

[Erik Lindahl]

Hi Dean,

That sounds like a problem with MPI and not Gromacs (unless you had 
other things running that affected load balancing).

Since Gromacs combined with LAM-MPI works well on x86 and other 
platforms I don't think there is much that can be done in Gromacs - 
have you checked the LAM-MPI site/mailing-list?

Cheers,

Erik
