Play with the domain decomposition, lincs itr/order, -ntomp and -ntmpi, etc...
I was able to get a 4 day simulation which often gave that error to speed up to
12 hours on 24 CPU/3 nodes/144 cores but it took 2 days of submitting, checking
speed, and killing jobs to try another grid routine. My problem related to this
is it wont go any faster (more nodes, cpu's or cores and starts to hit limits
where there are only 100 atoms in a unit cell) if anyone knows a way to make it
go faster.
In the context of free energy simulations (and the original post on this topic),
the limiting factor is generally the use of couple_intramol. If set to "no," as
is fairly common, exclusions are generated that then limit the number of DD
cells that can be used. More detail on this specific topic can be found in the
list archive.

*Betreff:* [gmx-users] Free Energy Simulations in Parallel
Dear Gromacs Users,
Is it possible to run free energy calculations in parallel using mpirun?
If not, what is the fastest way to run free energy calculations. I am
trying to us the Bennet's Accepetance Ratio (g_bar) to get the free energy
of solvation for an ionic liquid based on the tutorial by Justin Lemkul. I
hav tried to decouple an ion pair as well as individual ions. In either
case the simulations run locally but when I try to run them in parrallel I
get the error:
Fatal error:
There is no domain decomposition for 8 nodes that is compatible with the
given box and a minimum cell size of 2.26125 nm
Thank You
Quintin Sheridan
