[gmx-users] gromacs-4.0.5 parallel run in 8 cpu: slow speed
Hi Recently I successfully installed the gromacs-4.0.5 mpi version. I could run in 8 cpu. but the speed is very slow. Total number of atoms in the system is 78424. while running all 8 cpu showing 95-100% CPU. How to speed up the calculation.

The problem could be that you're not running an MPI GROMACS (show us your configure line, your mdrun command line and the top 50 lines of your .log file).

In my experience, correctly-configured MPI gromacs running in parallel reports
information about the number of nodes and the identity of the node writing the
.log file. This is missing, so something is wrong with your setup.
I've assumed that you've compared this 8-processor runtime with a
single-processor runtime and found them comparable...

RE: [gmx-users] gromacs-4.0.5 parallel run in 8 cpu: slow speed
Mark is correct. You should see node information at the top of the md log
file if you are truly running in parallel.
Apparently the default host (or machines) file (which contains the list of
available nodes on your cluster) has not been /is not being populated
correctly.
Your can build your own hosts file and then rerun the job using the command
line:
mpirun -np 8 -hostfile hostfile ~/software/bin/mdrun_mpi -deffnm md
The content and structure of the hostfile will depend on what version of MPI
you are using. Hopefully, you are not using MPICH 1 but instead are using
OpenMPI, MPICH2, or Intel MPI.
