Hello

I tried the Gromacs 4.5 beta. However, my MPI  mdrun died. Here it is
the output. The Gromacs-4.0.7 work fine for the same system. It is
protein in water system.  There are about 22000 atoms.

 After months of hard work and 2449 patches, the new gromacs-4.5-beta1 is

 It is full of many new and exciting features, please try them out!

 If something is not working as expected, please send a mail or file a
 bugzilla report.

 For developers: there is a new branch for stable releases called
 release-4-5-patches. Bugfixes should be applied there *first*, and if
 needed, merged from that branch into the master after the fix. See
 http://www.gromacs.org/Developer_Zone/Git/Git_Tutorial#Bugfixes for more
 information.


 New features:

 2D decomposition support for PME: improved load balancing with up to 40%
 overall performance improvement for large systems.
 Memory usage is improved for very large systems, allowing simulations of
100 million atoms.
 Running on multi-core nodes now automatically uses threads for domain
 decomposition through the built-in threaded MPI library
 GPU computing support
 Check-pointing is made more secure:MD5sum are used to verify that all files
 are correctly in-place before a simulation is appended. Output file
 appending at continuation is turned on by default
 Full Cmake support. Autoconf/automake will be deprecated after the final 4.5
 release!
 Full support for 7 AMBER force fields
 Support for CHARMM27, including cmap for dihedrals
 Efficient Generalized-Born implicit solvent support including the
 Still/HCT/OBC-models to compute the Born radii, a novel way of tabulating
 the generalized Born-interaction formula for greater speed, and optimized
 SSE-routines for both cut-off and all-vs-all simulations.
 Support for nucleic acid simulations
 Support for Velocity-Verlet integrators for reversible T- and P-coupling;
 MTTK pressure control integrators; Nose-Hoover chains
 Support for Bennett acceptance ratio (BAR) free energy calculations
 Decoupling group setup for free energy
 File formats: All GROMACS tools can now read any VMD supported trajectory
 format, without converting trajectory first. (VMD is required)
 g_rdf was a little bit enhanced that structure factors can be calculated for
 any system, by supplying the necessary data via sfactor.dat. Most of the
 common atomtypes are already contained, but everybody who needs more freedom
 can enhance the table
 Library support for dynamic index groups based on textual selections
 (experimental feature). See the tool g_select, the included template.c, or
 Doxygen documentation for information on how to write analysis tools using
 the library. Existing tools have not (yet) been converted.
 g_tune_pme: For a given number of processes or threads this tool
 systematically times mdrun with various numbers of PME-only nodes and
 determines which setting is fastest. It also checks whether performance can
 be enhanced by shifting load between the real and the reciprocal space part
 of the Ewald sum.
 g_membed: a very convenient utility for embedding membrane proteins into
 equilibrated lipid bilayers

 Big thanks to all developers, contributors and users!
