Providing a backtrace or two would really help. Given the exact same input files and run conditions, does it sometimes segfault and sometimes not? Does this happen on a login node (full glibc and such) or just the compute nodes (POSIX subset)?

Separately, is it a better idea to use fftw2 since it supports MPI?
No, gromacs now does the parallel FFT itself, and fftw3 is slightly faster.

(Hopefully soon my Teragrid access will extend to bigben, so I'm especially interested in this...)

Hello, I am trying to port GROMACS 3.3.1 to the CRAY XT3, which is essentially an Opteron machine with the PGI compilers. I can get everything to compile, but when I run mdrun, I am “randomly” getting segmentation faults. This seems to happen no matter what input file I use. It happens in init_forcerec (line 1001), in add_gbond, and in solvent_check. Some times it runs fine. I am configuring with the following command:

./configure --with-fft=fftw3 --disable-nice --enable-mpi --program-suffix="_xt3" --enable-float --with-external-blas --with-external-lapack --disable-threads --prefix=/usr/local/packages/gromacs-3.3.1

I am wondering if anyone else has seen these types of problems and knows how to fix them. I have tried compiling the code without optimization, to no avail.

Thanks in advance,

Shawn
