hello Justin:

thank you very much for your such kind explanations. It is quite helpful.

I am wondering how many CPU did you usually use for the membrane simulations?
and how many ns/day can you get the best if CPU is not a problem with Gromacs? I
am very confused about this question since some one claimed that they can use
optimized PMF/F paramters to achieve even 100ns/day for 20,000 atoms system. I
also try to use g_tune_pme to get a better performance, but the results are not
so satisfied...... Can you give me some advices for this?


I have never been able to get anywhere close to such performance for explicit solvent calculations using PME. Maybe others who have can describe their experience. I don't have an exact benchmark for the tutorial runs, but 24 CPU's gave somewhere in the ballpark of 10-15 ns/day on our (relatively old) hardware.

My rule of thumb is 1000 atoms/CPU, and then tweak from there if necessary.
