[gmx-users] segmentation fault from power6 kernel

[Fabio AFFINITO]

Hi Mark,
today I tested the 4.5.5 version. It seems here there's not that problem. Anyway, I will take some days to make more tests. 

Thank you,

Fabio

Thank you, Mark. 
Using GMX_NOOPTIMIZEDKERNELS=1 everything runs fine on power6. 
I also tried to run on a linux cluster and it went ok. 

Sounds like a bug. Please file a report here http://redmine.gromacs.org including your observations and a .tpr that will reproduce them. 

Thanks,

The most likely issue is some normal "blowing up" scenario leading to a 
table-lookup-overrun segfault in the 3xx series kernels. I don't know 
why the usual error messages in such scenarios did not arise on this 
platform. Try setting the environment variable GMX_NOOPTIMIZEDKERNELS to 
1 to see if this is a power6-specific kernel issue. Try running the .tpr 
on another platform.
