[gmx-users] Slow Runs

[Dallas Warren]

You will need to provide more details on the system.  How many atoms,
what sort of computer system is it being run on, how many nodes, copy of
the mdp file etc.

Subject: [gmx-users] Slow Runs

 

I am taking over a project for a graduate student who did MD using
Gromacs 3.3.3.  I now run similar simulations with Gromacs 4.5.1 and
find that they run only about 1/2 to 1/3 as fast as the previous runs
done in Gromacs 3.3.3.  The runs have about the same number of atoms and
both use opls force fields.  The mdp files is virtually the same (I
copied them).  The only major difference is that my runs have difference
species and thus have different (although smaller) itp files.  The runs
are stable and give reasonable thermodynamic properties - they're just
slow.  Has anyone had any experience with something like this?
