I believe that this problem is about mpi installation.

What mpi version was installed ? Lampi or openmpi.

That would be plausible on a home-built linux cluster, but not so likely on a cluster bought from a recognized vendor like IBM, whose MPI installation should be dependable.

Mark

There is a good tutorial about that in
http://www.gromacs.org/WIKI-import/Quick_and_Dirty_Installation

Dear All

Has anybody tried version 4.0.5 on an IBM Power6 (4.7Ghz) cluster?
We have installed the program with the following configure options (using
fftw we installed separately):

./configure --with-fft=fftw2 --enable-mpi --enable-float CC=mpcc_r
F77=mpxlf_r CXX=mpCC_r CFLAGS="-O3 -qarch=pwr6 -qtune=pwr6 -qcpluscmt"

It compiles and works but the performance is poor compared to our Opteron
 Cluster (2.6Ghz)
For example with 8 procs for a small protein in water we get 5.8ns/+day
compared to 9.6 ns/day on the Linux cluster, which is a bit disappointing.
Since there alot of compiler options to play with we would be grateful if
somebody who has already found a good set would share them with us.

best wishes
Silvia Giuliani
