Fair warning, I'm more of a system administrator than a regular gromacs user. What is it that I should be focused on, and more importantly how do I find the bottleneck? Gromacs does recommend using AVX2_256, but I was unable to get Gromacs to build using that. Here is more of the log file: On 32 MPI ranks Computing: Num Num Call Wall time Giga-Cycles Ranks Threads Count (s) total sum % ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Domain decomp. 32 1 1666 18.920 1509.802 3.8 DD comm. load 32 1 1666 0.017 1.394 0.0 DD comm. bounds 32 1 1666 0.206 16.406 0.0 Vsite constr. 32 1 50001 4.624 369.013 0.9 Neighbor search 32 1 1667 19.646 1567.793 4.0 Comm. coord. 32 1 48334 8.291 661.640 1.7 Force 32 1 50001 339.477 27090.350 68.6 Wait + Comm.

If that's not helpful, I would need more specifics on what part of the log file would be. Failing that, if anyone could recommend some good documentation for optimizing performance I would greatly appreciate it, thank you! -Matt Matthew Hanley IT Analyst College of Engineering and Computer Science Syracuse University mwhan...@syr.edu -- Gromacs Users mailing list * Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/Support/Mailing_Lists/GMX-Users_List before posting! * Can't post?
