Gromacs on DARWIN

Templates for Slurm job submission scripts are available for batch GROMACS jobs in /opt/shared/templates/slurm/applications. Copy and edit the template based on your job by following the usage described in gromacs.qs.

It is always a good idea to periodically check /opt/shared/templates/slurm/applications for changes in existing templates, or the addition of new templates, designed to provide the best performance for a particular version of GROMACS on that cluster.

On DARWIN, the template (/opt/shared/templates/slurm/applications/gromacs.qs) provides a number of options to provide the best performance, but you must read the comments and set the options accordingly for your job. By default the template uses double-precision, however changing GROMACS_PRECISION=single will specify the single-precision version instead. By default the gromacs.sh script executed as part of the GROMACS environment setup in the job script template will choose mpi or thread based on the node count in the Slurm runtime environment unless explicitly setting the environment variable GROMACS_PARALLELISM, and will load the particular version of GROMACS via VALET to satisfy single vs double, and mpi vs threads.
