Mon Feb 4 13:00:00 2013 kkaempfAATTsuse.com
- Update to 4.6
New features
- New Verlet non-bonded scheme which, by default, uses exact cut-off\'s
and a buffered pair-list.
- Multi-level hybrid parallelization (MPI + OpenMP + CUDA):
full OpenMP multithreading with the Verlet scheme;
- OpenMP mulitthreading for PME-only nodes with the group scheme;
native GPU acceleration using CUDA (supporte NVIDIA hardware).
- New x86 SIMD non-bonded kernels for the usual cut-off scheme, called
group scheme and the new verlet scheme, use x86 SIMD intrinsics (no
more assembly code):
SSE2
SSE4.1
AVX-128-FMA (for AMD Bulldozer/Piledriver)
AVX-256 (for Intel Sandy/Ivy Bridge)
- Automated OpenMP thread count choice to use all available cores.
- Automated CPU affinity setting: locking processes or threads to cores.
- Automated PP-PME (task) load-balancing: balancing non-bonded force and
PME mesh workload when the two are executed on different
compute-resources (i.e CPU and GPU or different CPUs). This enables
GPU-CPU and PP-PME process load balancing by shifting work from the
mesh to the non-bonded calculation.
- PPPM/P3M with analytical derivative at the same cost and with the same
features as PME.
- New, advanced free energy sampling techniques.
- AdResS adaptive resolution simulation support.
- Enforced rotation (\"rotational pulling\")
- Build configuration now uses CMake, configure+autoconf/make no longer
supported. (The CMake build system features with a lot of automation
and cleverness under the hood and we know that the it might not always
prove to be as rock-solid as the old one. However, far more advanced
and complex, so bear with us while we iron out issues that come up
along the way.)
- g_hbond now utilizes OpenMP.
Plus plenty of bug fixes.

Thu Oct 7 14:00:00 2010 kkaempfAATTnovell.com
- Update to 4.5.1
- fix bnc#642828 (CVE-2010-4001: Insecure use of LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
See http://www.gromacs.org/About_Gromacs/Release_Notes/Version_4.5
for a full list of changes
- 2D decomposition support for PME: improved load balancing with
up to 40% overall performance improvement for large systems.
- Memory usage is improved for very large systems, allowing
simulations of >100 million atoms.
- Running on multi-core nodes now automatically uses thread-
based parallelization.
- GPU computing support
- Check-pointing is made more secure:MD5sum are used to verify
that all files are correctly in-place before a simulation is
appended. Output file appending at continuation is turned on
by default
- Full Cmake support. Autoconf/automake will be deprecated after
the final 4.5 release!
- Full support for 7 AMBER force fields
- Support for CHARMM27, including cmap for dihedrals
- Efficient Generalized-Born implicit solvent support including
the Still/HCT/OBC-models to compute the Born radii, a novel way
of tabulating the generalized Born-interaction formula for
greater speed, and optimized SSE-routines for both cut-off and
all-vs-all simulations.
- Support for nucleic acid simulations
- Support for Velocity-Verlet integrators for reversible T- and
P-coupling; MTTK pressure control integrators; Nose-Hoover
chains
- Support for Bennett acceptance ratio (BAR) free energy
calculations
- Decoupling group setup for free energy
- File formats: All GROMACS tools can now read any VMD supported
trajectory format, without converting trajectory first. (VMD
is required)
- g_rdf was a little bit enhanced that structure factors can be
calculated for any system, by supplying the necessary data via
sfactor.dat. Most of the common atomtypes are already contained,
but everybody who needs more freedom can enhance the table
- Library support for \"dynamic index groups\" based on textual
selections (experimental feature). See the tool g_select, the
included template.c, or Doxygen documentation for information on
how to write analysis tools using the library. Existing tools
have not (yet) been converted.
- g_tune_pme: For a given number of processes or threads this tool
systematically times mdrun with various numbers of PME-only nodes
and determines which setting is fastest. It also checks whether
performance can be enhanced by shifting load between the real and
the reciprocal space part of the Ewald sum.
- g_membed: a very convenient utility for embedding membrane
proteins into equilibrated lipid bilayers
