[gmx-users] Running gromacs in parallel

[Savio James]

Hi All,

I am trying to run gromacs in parallel on 2 nodes. Each node is 16 physical
cores/32 logical cores and job scheduler is slurm. I installed version
5.1.3 with DGMX_MPI=on.

When I run a slurm script like srun -n 64 gmx_mpi mdrun -ntomp 1,

it runs 64 independent simulations. I get 64 log files, energy files and
trajectory files. The cluster support at my university has also not been
able to figure out why this happens. Any help would be appreciated.

I am able to run the simulation on a single node. If i run, gmx_mpi mdrun
-ntomp 32, I am able to run my simulations.It is an issue only when I use
multiple nodes.

Thanks
Savio
