[gmx-users] Regarding segmentation fault in GPU_gromacs 4.6.1

[DeBaJiT DeY]

Hello,

I am trying to simulate a peptide-membrane system on GPU using gromacs
4.6.1 . However whenever I invoke the mdrun command I get an error as *srun:
error: coe3: task 0: Segmentation fault (core dumped)*. Can anybody please
suggest me what might be the problem?

*Script file used to submit the job*:
#!/bin/bash

#SBATCH --nodelist=coe3
