A while ago Beniamino posted a question regarding the difficulty in doing constraint force in parallel. I am having the same problem now. Specifically, when attemping to run on several nodes using mpirun, the code says: Fatal error: Can not do constraint force calculation in parallel!

Is this a problem with the way I am using gromacs or it is a known limitation (unlikely, I feel).

gromacs 4 will be the first and only program (so far) to allow parallel constraints, see announcement on the website. Until then you can use constraint = h-bonds, or use fewer cpus.

Hi, Beniamino:

I am attemping to do some constraint force calculation myself, but had similar problems you mentioned earlier, i.e., mdrun shot back an error saying "Can not do constraint force calculation in parallel!".

Did you resolved this issue at that time. I am not sending it to the Gromacs list in case this has already been resolved.

Thanks.

Nick
