[gmx-users] Problem with OpenMP+MPI

Many thanks to you Justin for your help.

Now my .mdp file looks like:

constraints         =  none
integrator          =  md

pbc                 =  no
verlet-buffer-drift = -1
dt                  =  0.001
nsteps              =  0
ns_type             = simple
comm-mode           = angular
rlist               = 0
rcoulomb            = 0
rvdw                = 0
nstlist             = 0
rgbradii            = 0
nstgbradii          = 1
coulombtype         = cutoff
vdwtype             = cutoff
implicit_solvent    =  GBSA
gb_algorithm        =  HCT ;
sa_algorithm        =  None
gb_dielectric_offset    = 0.02

optimize_fft             = yes
energygrps               = protein

And when I run mdrun, it says

"OpenMP threads have been requested with cut-off scheme Group, but
these are only supported with cut-off scheme Verlet"

Now if I add

cutoff-scheme       = Verlet

It says

 With Verlet lists only full pbc or pbc=xy with walls is supported

  With Verlet lists nstlist should be larger than 0


So, what is the solution??

Also,  you told me

"Note that implicit solvent calculations can be run on no more than 2
processors.  You'll get a fatal error if you try to use more."

Is there any documentation for this? Can I cite you if I want to add
this information in an article?

Thanks,
Jesmin
