Hi, I am a Phd student studying polymer membranes.

I have installed Gromacs version 4.5.2 on our department cluster and attempted to run a simulations on a DPPC bilayer membranes taken from the tielleman website. I have set the system up in an NPT ensemble using a semi-isotropic pressure coupling. The simulation seems to run perfect in serial however I am having problems to run the simulation in parallel. I understand that this version of Gromacs uses threading to parallelise the system. I wanted to know whether it is possible to run this using openmpi and if not how do i use this thread base parallelisation.
Many Thanks
Selina
Hi,

It's slightly different than you think. Gromacs uses a thread based MPI implementation for communications between cores on the same machine. If you compile without threads it would use e.g. OpenMPI instead of threads as far as I know. Note that it will still use OpenMPI (or equivalent) for inter-node communication.

Cheers,
