[gmx-users] writing checkpoints

[Dr. Vitaly V. Chaban]

We are running quite a large system with a default checkpoint
intervals (15 minutes). However, in the md.log file, it is written
like below

Writing checkpoint, step 1380000 at Thu Jan 19 11:00:36 2012
Writing checkpoint, step 1380010 at Thu Jan 19 11:00:41 2012
Writing checkpoint, step 1380020 at Thu Jan 19 11:00:46 2012
Writing checkpoint, step 1380030 at Thu Jan 19 11:00:51 2012
Writing checkpoint, step 1380040 at Thu Jan 19 11:00:55 2012
Writing checkpoint, step 1380050 at Thu Jan 19 11:01:00 2012

Then  after an hour -

Writing checkpoint, step 1390000 at Thu Jan 19 12:21:18 2012
Writing checkpoint, step 1390010 at Thu Jan 19 12:21:23 2012
Writing checkpoint, step 1390020 at Thu Jan 19 12:21:28 2012
Writing checkpoint, step 1390030 at Thu Jan 19 12:21:32 2012


The job is executed using 4 cores. The version is 4-0-7.

Is this a bug? Just curious.
