[gmx-users] Turn-off water optimisation

[Thomas Schlesier]

Hi,
i have the following problem: (GROMACS 4.0.5)

when i simulated water in serial on our cluster with the brendsen or 
v-rescale thermostat i get to high temperatures (300 K goes in very 
short time up to around 425 K). If i simulate in parallel or at my local 
machine i get no problems. Also if i change water to another molecule 
there are no such problems. (I use the same mdp file for all the 
simulations).

Because the problem appears with water (spc and tip4p) but not with 
mesitylene i thought probably the special things for water (settle, and 
so on) could be the problem. So i wanted to simulate water without that 
fancy stuff.
Thanks for the info with the enviroment variable, but where can i set it?

For the other problems (why it works on the cluster in parallel, but not 
in serial, but works on the local-pc in serial) i have so far no idea, 
where to look. But first i'm happy to know if the problem comes from the 
  special water-loops.
