[gmx-users] Gromacs-4.0: 4 CPUs crashes, works on 1 CPU

[Andreas Kring]

Hi all.

I have just installed GROMACS 4.0. My system consists of one hydroxide 
ion and 999 polarizable water molecules. When the system is minimized 
(using only one CPU) with a steepest descent minimizer, there are no 
problems. But when I try to minimize exactly the same system using 4 or 
8 CPUs, I get the following error:

Reading file topol.tpr, VERSION 4.0 (double precision)
Making 1D domain decomposition 4 x 1 x 1
Steepest Descents:
    Tolerance (Fmax)   =  1.00000e+01
    Number of steps    =       100000

Any ideas why this could be?
