Re: [gmx-users] 2019.2 build warnings

Hi, You can safely ignore the errors as these are caused by properties of your hardware that the test scripts are not dealing well enough -- though admittedly, two of the three errors should be avoided along a message similar to this "Mdrun cannot use the requested (or automatic) number of OpenMP

Hi Cameron, My strong suspicion is that the NVIDIA OpenCL driver/compiler simply does not support or is buggy on Turing. I've just checked and an OpenCL build with the latest 418 drivers and it also fails tests on Volta (which is similar to the Turing architecture), but it passes on Pascal. You

Oh, cool -- thanks! I guess we will be replacing the older builds, then. Funny enough, you may not recall it, but the hardware for particular box was purchased with your own advice, which served us very well up until now. :) Again, thank you. Alex On 5/1/2019 5:07 AM, Szilárd Páll wrote:

Well, my experience so far has been with the EM, because the rest of the script (with all the dynamic things) needed that to finish. And it "finished" by hitting the wall. However, your comment does touch upon what to do with thread pinning and I will try to set '-pin on' throughout to see if

Dear all, Does anybody know how to calculate the Flory-Huggins parameter? The engine for all atoms MD simulations is Gromacs and the system of interest is an emulsion of epoxy resin and surfactant in water. Thank you. Best regards, Alexander -- Gromacs Users mailing list * Please search the

Hi, In addition to what Mark said (and I've also found pinning to be critical for performance), you're also not using the GPUs with "-pme cpu -nb cpu". Kevin On Wed, May 1, 2019 at 5:56 PM Alex wrote: > Well, my experience so far has been with the EM, because the rest of the > script (with

Hi, >Of course, i am not. This is the EM. ;) I haven't looked back at the code, but IIRC EM can use GPUs for the nonbondeds, just not the PME. I just double-checked on one of my systems with 10 cores and a GTX 1080 Ti, offloading to the GPU more than doubled the minimization speed. Kevin On

Well, unless something important has changed within a year, I distinctly remember being advised here not to offload anything to GPU for EM. Not that we ever needed to, to be honest... In any case, we appear to be dealing with build issues here. Alex On 5/1/2019 5:09 PM, Kevin Boyd wrote:

Hi all, Our institution decided to be all fancy, so now we have a bunch of Power9 nodes, each with 80 cores + 4 Volta GPUs. Stuff is managed by slurm. Today I did a simple EM ('gmx mdrun -ntomp 4 -ntmpi 4 -pme cpu -nb cpu') and the performance is abysmal, I would guess 100 times slower than on

Hi, As with x86, GROMACS uses SIMD intrinsics on POWER9 and is thus fairly insensitive to the compiler's vectorisation abilities. GCC is the only compiler we've tested, as xlc can't compile simple C++11. As everywhere, you should use the latest version of gcc, as IBM spent quite some years
