AW: LES very slow

Hi Siri,

 

so far, I couldn’t find a reason for your problem in your hardware. I don’t
know what LES is actually doing, but the manual tells that NAMD only
supports up to 15 copies.

Nevertheless, I can’t see a reason why this kind of computation should harm
the good scaling of namd. Does “normal” md scale better, so we can identify
if it is a general problem of your setup, or if it is due LES.

 

Regards

Norman Geist.

I've attached the files... I hope this is what you were looking for.

Hi Siri,

 

to help you we could use some information about the hardware you use.
Approximating you use linux, please supply the output of the following
commands:

 

1. cat /proc/cpuinfo

2. lspci

 

This should be enough for the beginning.

 

PS: If not using linux, please give otherwise information about the hardware
you use.

 

Norman Geist.

Hi

 

I'm trying to run LES on a system of ~30.000 atoms. I'm using 20 copies of
each of two dyes attached to DNA. The problem is when I extend the
simulation to more than one cpu the scaling does not increase accordingly.
An increase from one to 12 cpus only gives a decrease in simulation time
from ~9 days to ~4 days pr. ns. Does anybody know how to solve this?

 

Best regards, Siri
