[gmx-users] different results when using different number cpus

2007-12-05 Thread Dechang Li
Dear all,   I used Gromacs3.3.1 to do a simulation about two proteins in water(tip3p). I run two similar simulations, one for 2 cpus, while the other for 16 cpus. The two simulations have the same .gro, .top, and the same .mdp files. I found the results were not the same. In the 2 cpus

Hi Dechang, it is normal that results are not binary identical if you compare the same MD system on different numbers of processors. If you use PME then you will probably get slightly different charge grids for 2 and for 16 processors - since the charge grid has to be divisible by the number of
