[gmx-users] continuing a MD simulation on different architectures

[Berk Hess]

Hi,

As mdrun will tell you in stderr and md.log when you try continuing,
you will have exact continuation, but not binary identical (which you would
not have anyhow if you use dynamic load balancing).
Exact continuation mean perfect physical and chemical reliability.
