[gmx-users] Particle decomposition from GMX 5.X on

[Szilárd Páll]

Hi,

I can confirm that it has been removed, see:
Release notes for 5.0-rc1 section:
http://www.gromacs.org/About_Gromacs/Release_Notes/Versions_5.0.x

Here are some more details on the reasons and arguments for removing it.
http://redmine.gromacs.org/issues/1292

There are no plans by the core developers to re-introduce it, but
external contributions are always welcome (but note that contributions
means: code and commitment for future support).

Is OpenMP multi-threading not an adequate parallelization for your
purposes? While it will not run across multiple machines, it should
scale quite well to up to 16-24 cores.

Cheers,
