[gmx-users] performance issue with many short MD runs

2017-03-28 Thread Michael Brunsteiner
Thanks Peter and Mark! I'll try running on single cores ... however, comparing the timings I believe the bottleneck might be the time spent in I/O(reading/writing to disk) and here running several jobs on a single node with multiple coresmight make things even worse. also funny: In the log

Hi, As Peter notes, there are cases where the GPU won't be used for the rerun (specifically, when you request more than one energy group, for which it would likely be prohibitively slow, even if we'd write and run such a kernel on the GPU; but that is not the case here). The reason things take a

Hi, On the new machine your CUDA runtime and driver versions are lower than on the old machine. Maybe that could explain it? (is the GPU even used with -rerun?) You would need to recompile gromacs. Peter On 27-03-17 15:51, Michael Brunsteiner wrote: > Hi,I have to run a lot (many thousands)

Hi,I have to run a lot (many thousands) of very short MD reruns with gmx.Using gmx-2016.3 it works without problems, however, what i see is thatthe overall performance (in terms of REAL execution time as measured with the unix time command)which I get on a relatively new computer is poorer
