Thanks, Pall, I thought more threads will make the simulation faster. Is it not the case for Gromacs?
I have tried to change the values. The file is provided here, https://drive.google.com/a/rug.nl/file/d/0B-VoMAn-UrjYeko4d1VwUURCb00/view?usp=sharing . The command line is "gmx_mpi_d mdrun -s PE_pro_50s_npt5.tpr -v -deffnm PE_pro_50s_npt5 -ntomp 1 -npme 18 -ntomp_pme 1 -nsteps 500 -pin on -dlb yes -notunepme". The performance is slower than before before and the imbalance is still high. I don't know what it means. Thanks in advance.
