Hello
I want to run a simulation in gromacs/4.0.7 because this version supports v-rescale option for thermostat and I need that.
tcoupl=v-rescale


Do the job properly, and install 4.5.4 for better parallel performance and more bug fixes.

*in this version the grompp command does not need -np option. please let me know how I can specify the number of processors for my job.*


See http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Gromacs_Utilities/grompp#Parallel_calculations

I use a *.ll* file to submit my job. in this file the command line is:
*mpiexec mdrun_mpi -v -s topol.tpr -np 8*
(this is a coomand line which I used previously in my .ii file for gromacs/3.3 is this command line suitable for version 4/0/7 as well or I should change something?


It will work in 4.0.7 and 4.5.4 using all the processors available to mpiexec, and the "-np 8" is ignored.

Mark

Thanks in advance
D.Aghaie

    I have run a 1ns NVT equilibration with the protein restrained and
    now I am trying to equilibrate with NPT and LINCS/mdrun is
    crashing after about 5000 iterations.

    Try using the Berendsen barostat.  P-R allows for wider
    oscillations that can lead to instability in incompletely
    equilibrated systems.
