hi all


while running gromacs in parallel environment

*mpirun -np 3* -machinefile machinefile /usr/local/gromacs/bin/mdrun_mpi -s fws_md.tpr -o fws_md.trr -c fws_pmd.pdb -g md.log -e md.edr *for mpirun 3 nodes i got the output,*

while trying to increase the nodes to 5 or 8 i am getting the following error

the command i used is

mpirun -np 5 -machinefile machinefile /usr/local/gromacs/bin/mdrun_mpi -s fws_md.tpr -o fws_md.trr -c fws_pmd.pdb -g md.log -e md.edr


error:



Program mdrun_mpi, VERSION 4.0.5
Source code file: domdec.c, line: 5873

Fatal error:
There is no domain decomposition for 5 nodes that is compatible with the given box and a minimum cell size of 1.095 nm Change the number of nodes or mdrun option -rcon or -dds or your LINCS settings
Look in the log file for details on the domain decomposition

Have you followed this advice? There is a minimum size requirement for DD cells based on the cutoffs used, etc. You can alter these parameters by using the mdrun options that have been spelled out for you. If this does not work, then your system is simply too small to be split over more than a small amount of processors.
