[gmx-users] Re: Parallel Use of gromacs - parallel run is 20 times SLOWER than single node run (Jim Kress)

[Erik Lindahl]

Hi Jim,

That system should scale quite well with a fast network (infiniband)  
since you don't seem to be using PME, and the CVS 3.99 version is  
even better.

However, as David already mentioned, the gigabit network is likely  
limiting you. If you test the CVS code there are timing reports that  
will tell you how much _time_ (vs. floating-point operations) is  
spent on each part of the algorithm.

Cheers,

Erik
