Ok, got it to work. (I had to go back and reinstall the parallel version of mdrun).

question though: I notice that there's a log file created for each node (so in my case, there are 4 log files). Why is this, is this typical? I guess what I'm asking is, how exactly does GROMACS divide the problem up amongst the processors?

Thanks,

Arneh

maybe you should type:
"grompp -f ResMD1.mdp -c ../Heating/AfterHeatup.gro -p NoBadWater.top -o ResMD1 -np 4"
and so
"mpirun -np 4 mdrun -s ResMD1.tpr -o ResMD1 -c AfterResMD1 -e ResMD1 -g ResMD1 > & ResMD1.job &"

Hello, I'm having a similar problem, although my OS sees all 4 of my processors just fine.

When I run mpirun -c 4 mdrun . . .

all 4 of my processors are running, but only at 50% each. Furthermore, in present working directory, I see several backed up files:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] TEMP]$ ls
AfterResMD1.gro      #mdout.mdp.1#   ResMD1.job      ResMD1.trr
#AfterResMD1.gro.1#  NoBadWater.top  ResMD1.log      #ResMD1.trr.1#
#AfterResMD1.gro.2#  posre.itp       #ResMD1.log.1#  #ResMD1.trr.2#
dmpc.itp             ResMD1.edr      #ResMD1.log.2#  #ResMD1.trr.3#
lipid.itp            #ResMD1.edr.1#  #ResMD1.log.3#
lipid_posre.itp      #ResMD1.edr.2#  ResMD1.mdp
mdout.mdp            #ResMD1.edr.3#  ResMD1.tpr

It's almost as if I'm running 4 identical jobs (one on each processor) , instead of one job in parallel using 4 processors.

Any thoughts?

You probably are. What are your full grompp and mdrun commands?
