Gromacs on Caviness
Templates for Slurm job submission scripts are available for batch GROMACS jobs in /opt/shared/templates/slurm/applications/gromacs
. 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.
Batch job
On Caviness, 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 (md_rund
), however commenting out GROMACS_DOUBLE_PRECISION=YES
will specify the single-precision version (md_run
) instead.
