                       Then after grompp I am trying to run the
        simulation on
                       the cluster:

                       mdrun -pd -deffnm nvt500ps

                                        Do you have any clue what is
        happening?


                   Try running in serial or with a maximum of 2 threads.
         Your
                   problem could be related to
                   http://redmine.gromacs.org/____issues/777
        <http://redmine.gromacs.org/__issues/777>
                   <http://redmine.gromacs.org/__issues/777
        <http://redmine.gromacs.org/issues/777>>.  You will need to

                   upgrade to 4.5.5 (serial should work on 4.5.4).

                   -Justin

                        Thank you. What do you mean by running in
        serial? Well... with 2
               threads it does not make sense to use implicit solvent. Will
               4.5.5 resolve this problem?
Indeed, it works in serial. Will version 4.5.5 resolve
        it run it on
           e.g. 12 nodes?
Sorry, the same problem :

    I think, as stated in the redmine issue cited before, the limit is 2
    threads/processors.

    -Justin



I tried on one thread and on two threads and the error is still the same. Without particle decomposition the problem remains. Any suggestions?


Then the problem lies outside of the algorithms. Your system has become instantly unstable, thus suggesting that you have not sufficiently minimized or equilibrated the structure.
