Hi
I have 3 computer and I want to do mdrun_mpi.
I define this system in hostfile, lambhost-def, lam-hostmap.txt
after lamboot and lamnodes It defines me that I have 3 nodes:
h...@dma210:~/etc> lamnodes
n0 dma210.dma:2:origin,this_node
n1 dma211.dma:2:
n2 dma212.dma:2:
then I do:
h...@dma210:~/gromacs5> mpirun -np 6 mdrun_mpi4 -v -s md300.tpr -o md300.trr
-c md300.pdb -e md300.edr -g md300.log
Getting Loaded...
Reading file md300.tpr, VERSION 3.3.3 (single precision)
This should still work, but generating a .tpr with a corresponding
grompp has to be more appropriate.
Note: tpx file_version 40, software version 58

it works and when I do top it seems that on every computer 2 mdrun_mpi
execute. for example in one computer:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
2507 homa 16 0 48232 19m 4096 R 42 0.5 1:29.30 mdrun_mpi4
2508 homa 16 0 45868 16m 3768 S 33 0.4 0:57.30 mdrun_mpi4
2511 homa 16 0 67668 18m 15m R 1 0.5 0:00.48 konsole
one of my question is why doesn't the cpu percent of these 2 mpi is not
100%?
If you don't have a dual-core machine, then one would not expect such
behaviour.
when I excecute this command one node this process is faster (will be
finished on 19 Dec. and the cpu percent is about 100% for all 6 job.
Is my setting will be problemic?
Probably your network connections are not fast enough to get benefit
from your parallelism. There have been many discussions of this nature
on this list. Have a search.
