Usage Hints for GROMACS

If you need support in using this software or example job scipts please contact pc2-support@uni-paderborn.de.

Especially if you want to use Gromacs with GPU, please consult us with your workload because the newer Gromacs versions have a lot of different GPU parameters (multi-GPU simulations, direct GPU-to-GPU communication, PME-distribution,...), that can greatly affect the performance. We will try to tailor a job script that gives the best performance for your physical system.
