mdrun -multi works too if the runs are identical. Or write your own bash wrapper that calculates thread counts and applies pin offsets manually (see the link Mark posted for pinning info). -- Szilárd On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 8:40 PM, mah maz wrote: > Hi Justin, > Thank you for your answer! If yo

Perhaps I can be of help here. Except for the smallest systems, GROMACS simulations are very compute-intensive, so a single machine is needed for a single job. In many instances, several machines are required for a single job (provided you have a fast enough network). If you give a single machine

Hi, The "interference" is just that the runs will be ridiculously slow. You want either to arrange life to run one simulation at a time, or manually allocate cores to separate simulations, e.g. as described at http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Acceleration_and_parallelization#Pinning_threads_to

Hi Justin, Thank you for your answer! If you may help with any of these questions I would be greatly grateful; How can I understand if they were interfered? How is pinning? Any other ways you can recommend? Thanks a lot On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 10:14 PM, mah maz wrote: > Is running simulations i
