2013-11-12 Thread arunjones
Hello Sir,
Thanks for the reply.
now is it fine if i use 100 threads in my restart.
is there any impact on the over all simulation?

Only if that is the number of threads originally used in the run.  If not, there 
will be a mismatch between the DD grid setup, the .cpt file will complain, and 
the run will fail.  Rule of thumb: don't change settings or alter files mid-run ;)

2013-11-12 Thread arunjones
Thank you Sir,
initially i was running on 60 threads, now i changed it to 100. simulation
is running with out any error, but i found a note in the log file as fallows

  #nodes mismatch,
current program: 100
checkpoint file: 60

  #PME-nodes mismatch,
current program: -1
checkpoint file: 12

Gromacs binary or parallel settings not identical to previous run.
Continuation is exact, but is not guaranteed to be binary identical.

Initializing Domain Decomposition on 100 nodes


is it a good idea to continue or shall i stick with 60 threads.

Like I said, I think it is a bad idea to switch settings haphazardly during the 
run.  As the note indicates, the continuation is exact, but not binary 
identical.  Check the website for what all that means if you're not sure.
