[gmx-users] Parallel running of mdrun

[Chris Neale]

I get one line like the following for each core in an mpi job:
 5723 ?        RL     0:38 /work/cneale/exe/gromacs-4.0.2/exec/bin/mdrun_mpi -deffnm ./md5_running/s6117B2_md5 -cpt 600
 5724 ?        RL     0:39 /work/cneale/exe/gromacs-4.0.2/exec/bin/mdrun_mpi -deffnm ./md5_running/s6117B2_md5 -cpt 600
...

And you mean mdrun_mpi right?

Chris.

I must be missing something here.  Now we don't need to use the -np  
switch for grompp or mdrun, you simply specify with mpirun (4.0.3) eg

mpirun -np 4 mdrun -deffnm md_01

Doing that I end up with four separate processes.  Does that mean that  
the mdrun being used is not mpi enabled?

This is on a super computer system not compiled by myself.
