Hi Norman,
I don't have detailed information about +mergegrids. It was recommended as
an option to speed up my GBIS GPU calculations by one of the NAMD team, and
it worked quite well (~15% increase in performance for a 2k atom GBIS
system on a single GPU). It is not an allowed parameter for CPU
calculations. My initial thought was that it merged the patches in
simulation coordinate space, but I guess it says grids, so I've no real
understanding of what is happening. Apparently it won't hurt accuracy, but
for larger systems it will start to reduce performance.
