Hello,
this message concerns the Linux client 6.02 (arguments: -smp -verbosity 9), Gromacs SMP core 2.06, running on an AMD Phenom 9850 (4 cores).

The unit takes unusually long to progress, and thus expires far before completion.

This is part of the log; note the times between percent advances.

I see this message (not in the log), which I wonder if it is related:

Code: Select all

Note: tpx file_version 48, software version 64

NOTE: The tpr file used for this simulation is in an old format, for less memory usage and possibly more performance create a new tpr file with an up to date version of grompp
I recently (couple of weeks) changed to the 2.06 core, and a few other WUs have run fine, but in the last week I have only received WUs of this project 2669/run 11/clone 99/gen 89, which never complete.
Thanks

This WU has an incorrect number of steps. I marked it as a bad one,, and I think you can dump it.

P.S : you client is rather old, you should update it to improve error handling.

Thanks, now it seems to be going fine. I also upgraded to the 6.24 client, which brought a 2.07 core.

Thanks again
