Thanks for your reply.
I have also tried installing with _mpi suffix

It seems that gromacs has been compiled with mpich.


Does this executable still give the error listed below? Performance is one thing, errors are another. You may not necessarily obtain great scaling, depending on the contents of the system.

Dear gmx users

I have a problem with running parallel jobs on my Debian system(Openmpi
installed on it),
**Linux debian 3.2.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP , UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux**
I am using gmx 3.3.3, because of the *lambda dynamics* method which is

implemented in it.

AS I know ,in gmx 3.x, the number of processors supplied for the
subsequent
mdrun needed to match the input file. but when i use **grompp -np 6 &
mpirun -np 6 mdrun** the following error appears :

ERROR : run input file md.tpr was made for 6 nodes,
while mdrun expected it to be for 1 nodes.

through search of mailing list i found similar problems, but non of
the solutions worked for my case.

wihtout -np option in grompp the error disappears, and then with each
of these commands

**

1)mpirun -np 6 mdrun -deffnm md

2)mpirun -np 6 mdrun -deffnm md -N 6

3)mpirun -np 6 mdrun -np 6 -deffnm md

4)mdrun -np 6 -s md -N 6


**it uses 6 processors(each one at nearly 100%), but the simulation
time is the same as for 1 processor.

I have no problem with parallel jobs on our cluster(gmx 3.3.3 &
openmpi), with following command:

**
grompp -np 6 -f ...
mpiexec mdrun ...(number of processors is specified in the bash file)
**
,
but i can't run it on my 6 core system.

Also, I have no problem with newer version of gmx (4.5.x), but i
should use this version, and Hope someone can help me.


Have you properly compiled an MPI-enabled mdrun?  The default executable
name should be mdrun_mpi.  It should be linked against libmpi, so running
ldd on the mdrun executable should tell you.
