[gmx-users] Gromacs 4 bug?

[Bernhard Knapp]

Hi Berk,

I continued the simulation and it works fine (for the next few hours). 
Then it gets stuck again. So it seems that the problem is not directly 
related to gromacs. But it seems the interaction between the operating 
system or the hardware does not work for a longer time.
We are using openSuse 11 and as hardware:  motherboard: MSI 7360 P35 
Neo-F, cpu: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300, 4x 2.50GHz, ram: AENEON 2GB CL5 
AET860UD00-25D, hd: SEAGATE 750 GB SATAII 16MB 7200. Do you see any 
problems with that hardware? The simulations are running only on the 
local 4 cores in parallel (not over the network)

Bernhard
