[gmx-users] Parallel run on multiple nodes

[Huaichen(Bobby) Zhang]

Dear GROMACS users,

I'm a new user of GROMACS. The command "mpirun -np 8 mdrun" is working well
in a node with 8 processors.

Now I want to run GROMACS parallel on more processors, i.e., multiple
nodes. I tried to use "mpirun -n 16 -host node018,node022 mdrun" (node018
and node022 each has 8 processors), it gives the following message:
"
mpirun was unable to launch the specified application as it could not find
an executable:
Executable: mdrun
Node: node018
while attempting to start process rank 0.
"
I also tried to use "mpirun -hostfile hostlist mdrun" (hostlist file as
follows), the same message as above appeared.
"
node018 slots=8
node022 slots=8
"
While the same commands works well for other softwares. Have anyone
encountered similar problem? What is your solution?



Thanks in advance!
