As Mark said, please share the *entire* log file. Among other important things, the result of PP-PME tuning is not included above. However, I suspect that in this case scaling is strongly affected or by the small size of the system you are simulating. -- Szilárd On Sun, Nov 10, 2013 at 5:28 AM,

Hi Mark and Szilard Thanks for your both suggestions. They are very helpful. Neither run had a PP-PME work distribution suitable for the hardware it was running on (and fixing that for each run requires opposite changes). Adding a GPU and hoping to see scaling requires that there be

Hi Szilard, Thank you very much for your suggestions. Actually, I was jumping to conclusions too early, as you mentioned AMD cluster, I assumed you must have 12-16-core Opteron CPUs. If you have an 8-core (desktop?) AMD CPU, than you may not need to run more than one rank per GPU. Yes, we do

First, there is no value in ascribing problems to the hardware if the simulation setup is not yet balanced, or not large enough to provide enough atoms and long enough rlist to saturate the GPUs, etc. Look at the log files and see what complaints mdrun makes about things like PME load balance, and
