[gmx-users] Gromacs-GPU benchmark test killed after exhausting the memory

Hi,

I have Gromacs-GPU version 4.5.5 and GTX 580.
I ran dhfr-solv-PME benchmark test (see below) and my run was killed after couple of hours exhausting all the computer memory, including the swap (2G + 4G swap).
Has anyone encountered this problem? What is wrong?

Thanks, Efrat
