dear users
I have encouneterd a problem with mpirun I have 2 pc (every pc has 1 intel quad core cpu) ,when I run mdrun on 1 machine with "-np 4 " option the calculation run on 4 cores and goes faster ,system monitor show all 4 cores of this cpu are working
     every core has 90% cpu usage,and every thing is ok
but now I connect 2 computer to LAN and I executed lamboot -v lamhosts then I run mpirun -np 8 but I see the all 8 cores of 2 machines are workinng with
     20 % 10% cpu usage and speed is lower than 4 cores of 1 cpu!!!!
This could have a lot of reasons. What kind of interconnect do you use? If it is gigabit Ethernet, you will need at least 80000 particles to be faster on two 4 CPU machines compared to one. With only fast ethernet, do not expect any scaling at all on today's fast processors.

Try grompp -shuffle -sort, this will help increase the scaling a bit.

     can you help me ?my molecule is part of hsa and is macro molecule
   these are my commands
usr/local/share/gromacs_331/bin/grompp -np 8 -f prmd.mdp -c finalprsp.gro -r finalprsp.gro -p n.top mpirun -np 8 /usr/local/share/gromacs_331/bin/mdrun -np 8 -s prmd.tpr -o prmd.trr -c finalprmd.gro -g prmd.log -e prmd.edr -n n.ndx
