[gmx-users] PME scaling

[Erik Lindahl]

Hi Rob,

The head branch of CVS has major scaling improvements, but it's  
changing quite a lot right now, so unless you really like to iron out  
bugs I'd recommend waiting a couple of weeks until it's stabilized a  
bit.

For instance, the current version partitions the system into separate  
PME and direct space nodes, but depending on the performance we might  
actually decide to reverse that and do PME on all nodes again.


Cheers,

Erik
