Domain decomposition problem was created by James Starlight
Hello,

I have faced with the problem of running CG simulation on cluster. In particular case I made Martini parametrization of the GPCR embedded within bilayer and successfully tested this system on my local machine with GMX 4.5 following tutorial.
Then I was tried to submit gromacs job on 64 nodes on mu local cluster using GMX 4.5 with mpiexec obtaining error



Program g_mdrun_openmpi, VERSION 4.5.7
Source code file:
/builddir/build/BUILD/gromacs-4.5.7/src/mdlib/domdec.c, line: 6436

Fatal error:
There is no domain decomposition for 64 nodes that is compatible with
the given box and a minimum cell size of 2.6255 nm
Change the number of nodes or mdrun option -rcon or your LINCS settings


Next I tried to increase size of the system putting twisely bigger bilayer
unfortunately I that sim also dint start

Program g_mdrun_openmpi, VERSION 4.5.7
Source code file:
/builddir/build/BUILD/gromacs-4.5.7/src/mdlib/domdec_con.c, line: 693

Fatal error:
DD cell 0 2 1 could only obtain 0 of the 1 atoms that are connected
via vsites from the neighbouring cells. This probably means your vsite
lengths are too long compared to the domain decomposition cell size.
Decrease the number of domain decomposition grid cells.
For more information and tips for troubleshooting, please check the GROMACS
website at www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors

Is it possible to modify some mdp options for those runs or it will be better to switch to 5.0 GMX instead7

Thanks for help!

J.

Thanks!

Hi!

One mdrun flag you probably need to set is
-rdd 1.4
This will tell mdrun to communicate some more particles than the default across neighboring DD cells.

Let us know if this helps.
