Hi all,
I run gromacs 4.6 on 5 nodes(each has 16 CPU cores and 2 Nvidia K20m)
and 4 nodes in the following ways:
5 nodes:
1. Each node has 8 MPI processes, and use one node as PME-dedicated node
2. Each node has 8 MPI processes, and use two nodes as PME-dedicated nodes
3. Each node has 4 MPI processes, and use one node as PME-dedicated node
In these settings, the log files complain that PME nodes have more work
to do than PP nodes, and the average imbalance is 20% - 40%.
4nodes:
Each node has 8 MPI processes, and there is no PME-dedicated node
In the log file, the PME mesh wall time is about the half compared the
settings above. My guess is that the scaling of my run is small so
PME-dedicated nodes won't do any good.
So, on what condition should I set PME nodes manually?
