Dear Mark,
Thanks for the reply. I am using the following options for the electrostatics in the mdp file
coulombtype         =  pme
fourierspacing      =  0.1
pmeorder            =  4
optimize_fft        =  yes
ewald_rtol          =  1.0e-5
ewald_geometry      =  3dc

So if I understood you correctly, I have to change either fourier spacing or
my box size in order to get it running with -np 4

Hmm. If that's all the options relevant to electrostatics in your .mdp file, then this looks weird enough to be a possible bug, given that you're using a development version of mdrun.

First, update your CVS source, check this problem still happens. Then try it for a small range of fourierspacing values around 0.1 and see what behaviour you get. I suggest 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.11, 0.12. If you report what you find, please use gmxdump on the input .tpr to report on nx/ny/nz.

On what I've seen so far, the automatic "choose nx/ny/nz suitable for grid spacing and number of nodes" might be broken. With this test, we're looking to see whether only choices of fourierspacing that produce nx/ny/nz that are accidentally divisible by the number of nodes are the only successful ones... The good news is the fix will be easy if this is the problem.

Mark
