From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Albert Sent: Friday, 6 January 2012 3:24 PM To: gromacs maillist Subject: [gmx-users] another question about performance Hello: here is my log file for mdrun: Writing final coordinates. step 100000, remaining runtime: 0 s Average load imbalance: 10.8 % Part of the total run time spent waiting due to load imbalance: 4.3 % Steps where the load balancing was limited by -rdd, -rcon and/or -dds: X 0 % Y 19 % Z 0 % Average PME mesh/force load: 0.665 Part of the total run time spent waiting due to PP/PME imbalance: 5.7 % NOTE: 5.7 % performance was lost because the PME nodes had less work to do than the PP nodes. You might want to decrease the number of PME nodes or decrease the cut-off and the grid spacing. NOTE: 9 % of the run time was spent communicating energies, you might want to use the -gcom option of mdrun Parallel run - timing based on wallclock. NODE (s) Real (s) (%) Time: 2435.554 2435.554 100.0 40:35 (Mnbf/s) (GFlops) (ns/day) (hour/ns) Performance: 409.701 22.103 7.095 3.383 gcq#149: "It's Against the Rules" (Pulp Fiction) As we can see from the end of this log file, the performance is 7.1ns/day, 3.4ns/hour. I am very confused about this output. How could this happen? Is there only two hours something each day? THX
