Hi Art,

you run a small system (4800 atoms) on a lot of CPUs (64). In the md.log file
it says that you have 2 grid points per CPU for the parallel FFT (local_nx).
There is indeed one limitation to the PME code in 3.3.1: you need at least
0.5*pme_order grid points per CPU. Your pme_order is 6. So you should try to
either reduce the pme order to 4 or to reduce the number of CPUs for that
system, or reduce the fourierspacing to get a larger grid :) Unfortunately
in the 3.3.1 PME code it is not checked if the number of grid points per CPU
is enough.

Regards,
  Carsten

Hi, all,

I am trying to run Gromacs on a P655+ with Aix 5.2. Initially, mdrun appears to work, but always hangs. Eventually, I get timed out from the supercomputer
with no data to show for it.  Below is a link
detailing the problem:

I appreciate your input.  Your previous suggestions
have been very helpful.

Best wishes,
Art
