[gmx-users] hyperthreading

2010-08-09 Thread David Mobley
Dear All, I'm putting together a new Dell Xeon cluster running ROCKS 5.3 which uses CENTOS (6 I believe). This is currently ~20 dual quad-cores with roughly 16 GB of RAM each. In any case, I wanted to inquire about hyperthreading. Does anyone have experience on similar machines with vs. without

From my browsing of list archives I can only recall seeing advice that hyperthreading cannot offer more Gromacs performance. For all I know this remains true if you're trying to use MPI to accelerate single calculations on hyperthreaded processors. However, I have discovered that it may be
