Modules
| Version | Installation Path | modulefile | compiler | comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018.4 | /sw/chem/gromacs/2018.4/skl/impi | gromacs/2018.4 | intelmpi | |
| 2018.4 | /sw/chem/gromacs/2018.4/skl/impi-plumed | gromacs/2018.4-plumed | intelmpi | with plumed |
Usage
Load the necessary modulefiles. Note that Intel MPI module file should be loaded first
module load impi/2018.5 gromacs/2018.4
This provides access to the binary gmx_mpi wich can be used to run simulations with sub-commands as gmx_mpi mdrun
In order to run simulations MPI runner should be used:
mpirun gmx_mpi mdrun MDRUNARGUMENTS
