Thank you very much for both contributions. I will conduct some tests to assess which approach works best for my system. Much appreciated, Best regards, João Henriques On Tue, Jun 4, 2013 at 6:30 PM, Szilárd Páll szilard.p...@cbr.su.se wrote: mdrun is not blind, just the current design does

Sorry to keep bugging you guys, but even after considering all you suggested and reading the bugzilla thread Mark pointed out, I'm still unable to make the simulation run over multiple nodes. *Here is a template of a simple submission over 2 nodes:* --- START --- #!/bin/sh # # - - - - - - - - - -

[gmx-users] Running gmx-4.6.x over multiple homogeneous nodes with GPU acceleration

2013-06-04 Thread João Henriques
Dear all, Since gmx-4.6 came out, I've been particularly interested in taking advantage of the native GPU acceleration for my simulations. Luckily, I have access to a cluster with the following specs PER NODE: CPU 2 E5-2650 (2.0 Ghz, 8-core) GPU 2 Nvidia K20 I've become quite familiar with the

Yes, documentation and output is not optimal. Resources are limited, sorry. Some of these issues are discussed in http://bugzilla.gromacs.org/issues/1135. The good news is that it sounds like you are having a non-problem. The output tacitly assumes heterogeneity. If your performance results are

mdrun is not blind, just the current design does report the hardware of all compute nodes used. Whatever CPU/GPU hardware mdrun reports in the log/std output is *only* what rank 0, i.e. the first MPI process, detects. If you have a heterogeneous hardware configuration, in most cases you should be
