[gmx-users] Re: comparison of gromacs in CENTOS and UBUNTU

[Justin A. Lemkul]

I don't see how hard disk space of the OS has anything to do with the speed of 
Gromacs.  Are the machines you refer to identical in terms of hardware (CPU, 
RAM, etc) as well as the compilers used to install the software?

I have installed Gromacs under several different OS - Mac, Ubuntu Linux, 
Yellowdog Linux, and Fedora Linux.  The only real speed difference comes from 
the hardware.
