Here's my grompp command:

and my mdrun command is this: time mpiexec mdrun_mpi -np 8 -cpt 30000 -nice 0 -nt 1 -s $PBS_O_WORKDIR/md.tpr -o $PBS_O_WORKDIR/mdDone.trr -x $PBS_O_WORKDIR/mdDone.xtc -c $PBS_O_WORKDIR/mdDone.gro -e $PBS_O_WORKDIR/md.edr -g $PBS_O_WORKDIR/md.log 1> $PBS_JOBID.pgm.out 4> $PBS_JOBID.pgm.err


The -np option of mdrun is nonexistent, but mdrun does not check for proper command line arguments, so you won't get an error. But then you've said that 8 processors are active, so I still suspect that mdrun was compiled incorrectly or in such a way that it's incompatible with your system. The output from the .log file indicates that only one processor was used. Maybe your admins can help you on this one, if the jobs spit out any useful diagnostic information.

For our cluster, we use e.g.:

mpirun -np 8 mdrun_mpi -deffnm md

I know the -cpt option is 30000 because I don't want a checkpoint file because every time it tries to make it, it fails due to quota issues and kills the job. I'm not sure why this happens, but I think it's a separate issue to take up with my supercomputing facility.

    What is your mdrun command line?  How did you compile it?  What can
    happen is something went wrong during installation, so you think you
    have an MPI-enabled binary, but it is simply executing 8 copies of
    the same job.

               Does that mean it's only using 1 node?  That would
        explain the
               speed issues.


           That's what it looks like to me.
