Hello,
I have installed gromacs-4 on Solaris 8 with mpi support.
I was very disappointed by the lack of -np option in grompp and mdrun.

The -np option is absent in grompp, as it is no longer necessary. The -np flag is indeed present for mdrun, however.

After reading the manual and the site I came to a conclusion that now we
do not need to specify number of nodes via gromacs status file but
instead use mpirun option only.
Executing (for gromacs benchmarking set)

grompp
mpirun c0-5 mdrun_mpi -v

starts six threads on six processors though output speed is the same as
for a single-node run. No errors, no warnings.


I didn't think threading was supported yet, maybe I'm wrong. But you can definitely use -np 6 with mdrun_mpi.

So, am I doing wrong with gromacs parallelization or is this the problem
of the Solaris MPI?

Thank you.
