Hello,in reply to my previous question even with options in compilation with mpi_d I wasn't able to solve my problem. Every time I choose to run gromacs in more than one node, after some number of steps I get that error. It is very annoying, because I cannot increase the speed of my runs, yet only up to two processors (that means that I can at least run in parallel somehow). In order to see if the compilation was successful I even restarted the whole cluster,yet to no avail. The runs are ok if I run them in only one node though. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,after searching extensively the mailing lists I wasn' able to solve my problem. This has to do with running gromacs in parallel (more than one nodes) in a rocks cluster. I 'm able to run a simulation both in one or two processors in a dual core node, yet every time I try to use more than one nodes, this error appears :Program mdrun_mpi, VERSION 3.3.2 Source code file: nsgrid.c, line: 226 Range checking error: Explanation: During neighborsearching, we assign each particle to a grid based on its coordinates. If your system contains collisions or parameter errors that give particles very high velocities you might end up with some coordinates being +-Infinity or NaN (not-a-number). Obviously, we cannot put these on a grid, so this is usually where we detect those errors. Make sure your system is properly energy-minimized and that the potential energy seems reasonable before trying again. Variable ci has value 741. It should have been within [ 0 .. 740 ] There isn't only me who is facing that problem so searching the forums I came accross a patch, that is : [gmx-users] fix for range checking errors in parallel double precision mdrun Compiling gromacs with this version of xtcio.c doesn't seem to solve the problem. Is there anything else I'm missing?I give you my configure options in case this is helpful:./configure --prefix=/export/local/gromacs-3.3.2 --program-suffix= --enable-double --disable-float --disable-fortran --with-x --with-fft=fftw3 My commands to run a simulation are for example in six nodes :grompp -f *.mdp -c *.gro -p *.top -np 6and in my script the arguments for running are:-pe mpi 6mpirun -np 6 --hostfile $TMPDIR/machines mdrun_mpiThank you in advance,Nikos __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
