Hello,

can anybody confirm if fftw-3.1.2 is compatible with gromacs 3.3.1 and gromacs 4.0?

A colleague has recently indicated that I must use fftw 2.1.5 for gromacs mpi. However, I have been using fftw-3.1.2 for quite a while now. It compiles fine and my searching today turned up some other usage here: http://lindahl.sbc.su.se/outgoing/workshop2007/tutorial1/tutorial1.pdf

Possibly your colleague's memory is antiquated. FFTW 2.x had parallel FFTs that might have been used by GROMACS at the time. This might explain your colleague's association of MPI GROMACS and FFTW 2.1.5. However certainly by 3.3.1, GROMACS is perfectly happy with any FFTW version, since it handles the parallelism itself and so needs only serial FFT routines.
