Hello, I am using a dual core Xeon with 4 GB RAM to do some gromacs analysis and want to know what is the limiting factor in my machine's performance.
When I run, say, a trjconv command on a 2.3 GB trajectory, the rest of my machine pretty much freezes up. A trjconv will use only 1 cpu, but is it using all the memory of the machine as well for IO? If it is not using all the memory, then why does the machine freeze? Of course, the answers might lie in my local installation, but I was wondering if you folks have some insights? I am running Suse 10.x. A top command typically indicates a 20-35 % cpu usage while running the trjconv. Thank you, -Himanshu _______________________________________________ gmx-users mailing list gmx-users@gromacs.org http://www.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/search before posting!
