[gmx-users] gromacs' threads

[Erik Lindahl]

Hi,

It will be there about five minutes after it's done :-)

In summary, I have hread support fully implemented in the inner loops, 
but it's a bit complicated to combine it with MPI parallelization in 
the neighborsearching, not to mention PME.

Second, for a lot of systems (large ones) you might actually get better 
performance from splitting it and using MPI parallelization instead. 
The big feature with threads will be the easier automatic load 
balancing, but that's not working yet...

Cheers,

Erik
