[gmx-users] GROMACS on a cluster

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

This is a general issue with using MPI programs, not one specific to
GROMACS. Please read and follow the instructions for your cluster. The MPI
system needs to know how to find gmx_mpi on each rank on each node, but how
you should do this depends whether there's modules in use, or you have to
set the PATH, or you need to specify a full path to gmx_mpi.
