Hello GMX users
I am trying to run one gromacs simulation in parallel. I have  successfully 
compiled gromacs 4  with mpi support  on a cluster with x86_64 architecture 
with 4 cpus (intel core 2 Quad 6600).
when I run mdrun with single-processor  ,it works  fine and everything is 
ok, but when I run the same simulation  with 4 cpu, 
it finishs again normally and I don't  get any error messages , but my 
protein breaks and box of sol becomes deformed.
These are first few lines of my output (on screen)
NNODES=4, MYRANK=3, HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
NODEID=3 argc=16
NNODES=4, MYRANK=0, HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
NNODES=4, MYRANK=2, HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
NNODES=4, MYRANK=3, HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
NODEID=2 argc=15
NNODES=4, MYRANK=1, HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
NODEID=1 argc=15
NODEID=3 argc=15
NODEID=0 argc=15
 
here is my commands and mdp file  :
commands:
grompp -f sp.mdp -c fprmd.gro -r fprmd.gro -p n.top -o  sp.tpr  -n n.ndx 
-maxwarn  1000
mpirun -np 4 mdrun -s sp.tpr -o sp.trr -c fsp.gro -g sp.log -e sp.edr -n 
n.ndx -N 4

whould you please help me to overcome this problem.
