[gmx-users] Can we convert one job into many serial jobs?

[Zhang, Cheng]

Dear GROMACS,

I am now using openmpi nodes to run GROMACS (e.g. mdrun_mpi) on our cluster. When the nodes required are too many (e.g. more than 8), jobs always take a long time to wait in the queue. So I wonder if there is a possibility that we can


1) convert the job into many serial jobs?

2) convert the job into several openmpi jobs but with only 1 node in each job?


When serial jobs are submitted, hundreds of jobs can be run within just a few minutes.


Thank you very much.


Yours sincerely

Cheng
