[gmx-users] Multiple output log. xtc .edr files generated using mpirun

[Abhishek Acharya]

Hello GROMACS users,

I am trying to run a simulation on a university cluster; I am using
gromacs-5.1.2. The problem is while running mdrun, using the following
command:

mpirun -np 32 gmx mdrun -s prod.tpr -deffnm prod_out -pin on   ### I
expected gmx mdrun_mpi here but it was not available.

I am getting multiple log files, xtc, edr files as the output and all the
log files say the following:


Running on 1 node with total 16 cores, 16 logical cores
Hardware detected:
  CPU info:
    Vendor: GenuineIntel
    Brand:  Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2670 0 @ 2.60GHz

    CPU features: aes apic avx clfsh cmov cx8 cx16 htt lahf_lm mmx msr

sse4.2 ssse3 tdt x2apic
    SIMD instructions most likely to fit this hardware: AVX_256
    SIMD instructions selected at GROMACS compile time: AVX_256

This in itself is pretty weird. I am guessing that the package is not
properly installed by the admin. My question is what is the exact problem
with the setup and what is the solution; i need to communicate this to the
admin. Although, I reported the issue previously, but it seems he doesn't
understand where the problem seems to be.


Thanks in advance.
