[gmx-users] Problem with the mdrun_openmpi on cluster

just performed some benchmarks with full atomic system- short md of
the water soluble protein still using mpiexec -np 46 mdrun_openmpi of
the GMX 4.5 and there were no such errors with DD so it seems that the
problem indeed in MARTINI atoms representation.

BTW how I could quickly check some info about performance of the
simulation7 what logs should I expect7 If somebody has already done it
I will be very thankful for some usefull combination of shell commands
which will extract performance information from sim log.

Thanks in advance!!
