AW: [gmx-users] mdrun mpi segmentation fault in high load situation

Problem: This runs fine: mpiexec -np 72 /../mdrun_mpi -pd -s full031K_mdrun_ions.tpr This produces a segmentation fault: mpiexec -np 128 /../mdrun_mpi -pd -s full031K_mdrun_ions.tpr Unless you know you need it, don't use -pd. DD will be faster and is probably better bug-tested too. Mark Hi Mark thanks for the push into that direction, but I am in the unfortunate situation where I really need -pd because I have long bonds which is the reason why my large system is decomposable just into a little number of domains. So the only difference is the number of cores I am using. mdrun_mpi was compiled using the intel compiler 11.1.072 with my own fftw3 installation. While configuring and make mdrun / make install-mdrun no errors came up. Is there some issue with threading or mpi?

Mark Hi Mark thanks for the push into that direction, but I am in the unfortunate situation where I really need -pd because I have long bonds which is the reason why my large system is decomposable just into a little number of domains. I'm not sure that PD has any advantage here. From memory it has to create a 128x1x1 grid, and you can direct that with DD also. The contents of your .log file will be far more helpful than stdout in diagnosing what condition led to the problem.
