Hi all,

Could anyone explain all the meanings of these columns in log?
I'd appreciate your help.

Domain decomp.
DD comm. load
DD comm. bounds
Send X to PME
Neighbor search
Comm. coord.
Force
Wait + Comm. F
PME mesh
PME wait for PP
Wait + Recv. PME F
NB X/F buffer ops.
Write traj.
Update
Constraints
Comm. energies
Rest
------------------
Total
------------------
------------------
PME redist. X/F
PME spread/gather
PME 3D-FFT
PME 3D-FFT Comm.
PME solve
