Changelog for gromacs-openmpi-2024-2.2.x86_64.rpm :

* Fri Feb 02 2024 Christoph Junghans - Aarch64: fix tests and enable neon support- Tests have race condition, run them serially
* Thu Feb 01 2024 Christoph Junghans - Update to 2024
* Highlights: - The Colvars library can now be used natively from GROMACS. This simplifies the use of advanced enhanced sampling simulations. - Reduced artifacts from Lennard-Jones pair interactions on the pressure by a configurable increase of the Verlet buffer. Can lead to a slight performance loss, especially for coarse-grained systems. - Corrected several aspects of the deform option. Now simulations with box deformation behave correctly under high shear or when a solid or membrane fractures. This also means that the deform option is now suitable for computing viscosities. - New option for hydrogen mass repartitioning in grompp enables easy access to performance improvements. - Improvements to AWH, such as better control of the histogram growth factor as well as enabling automatic scaling of the target distribution based on the AWH friction metric. - Configurable HeFFTe multi-GPU FFT options lets users fine-tune the settings for specific use-cases.

* Sun Apr 02 2023 andy great - Update to 2023
* Highlights: - The SYCL GPU implementation, which is the GPU portability layer that supports all major GPU platforms, has received major extensions in support for both platforms and features. To ensure portability in practice, the GROMACS GPU portability layer is actively developed with multiple SYCL implementations (hipSYCL, oneAPI DPC++, IntelLLVM) and regularly tested on multiple GPU backends. - SYCL supports more GPU offload features: bonded forces and direct GPU-GPU communication with GPU-aware MPI. - SYCL hardware support includes AMD (including RDNA support added here) and Intel for production as well as NVIDIA GPUs (not for production). - SYCL optimizations targeting important HPC platforms. - PME decomposition has been optimized and extended to support offloading the entire PME calculation to multiple GPUs, including the FFT computation; when combined with cuFFTmp or heFFTe this enables much improved strong scaling (experimental feature). - CUDA Graph support has been added to execute GPU-resident single-/multi-GPU simulations using thread-MPI entirely on the GPU to improve performance (experimental feature). - New ensemble temperature mdp options allow setting the temperature of the ensemble for simulations without temperature coupling or with different reference temperatures. - With gmx dssp, GROMACS now has a native implementation of the DSSP algorithm, which replaces gmx do_dssp.

* Bugfix release, see https://manual.gromacs.org/current/release-notes/2022/2022.2.html- Update to 2022.1
* Highlights: - Free-energy kernels are accelerated using SIMD, which make free-energy calculations up to three times as fast when using GPUs - A new formulation of the soft-cored non-bonded interactions for free-energy calculations allows for a finer control of the alchemical transformation pathways - New transformation pull coordinate allows arbitrary mathematical transformations of one of more other pull coordinates - New interface for multi-scale Quantum Mechanics / Molecular Mechanics (QM/MM) simulations with the CP2K quantum chemistry package, supporting periodic boundary conditions. - grompp performance improvements - Cool quotes music playlist - Additional features were ported to modular simulator - Added AMD GPU support with SYCL via hipSYCL - More GPU offload features supported with SYCL (PME, GPU update). - Improved parallelization with GPU-accelerated runs using CUDA and extended GPU direct communication to support multi-node simulation using CUDA-aware MPI.
* See https://manual.gromacs.org/current/release-notes/2022/2022.1.html- split off libmuparser2 into separate package
* Wed May 04 2022 Christoph Junghans - devel package requires binaries as well
* Wed Apr 27 2022 Jan Engelhardt - Trim boasting from package descriptions.- Trim descriptions in less important subpackages for length.- Resolve rpmlint reports:
* \"libgromacs4.x86_64: E: shlib-policy-name-error SONAME: libgmxapi.so.0, expected package suffix: 0\"
* \"libgromacs4.x86_64: E: shlib-policy-name-error SONAME: libgromacs.so.6, expected package suffix: 6\"
* Sun Dec 05 2021 Max Lin - Update license to \"LGPL-2.1-or-later AND Apache-2.0 AND BSD-3-Clause\"
* Wed Nov 10 2021 Christoph Junghans - Tag build with \"openSUSE\" for easier debugging by upstream
* Thu Sep 30 2021 Nicolas Morey-Chaisemartin - Use openmpi macros to always build with the default openmpi version.
* Mon Jul 12 2021 Christoph Junghans - Enabled legacy api needed for votca-csg
* Mon Jun 28 2021 Atri Bhattacharya - Update to version 2021.2:
* Fixes where mdrun could behave incorrectly.
* Removed a potential race condition with GPU update (issue 4024).
* Avoided issues with global reduction observed with md-vv (issue 4031).
* Prohibited SETTLE interactions for atoms with perturbed masses (issue 3959).
* Rerun now writes pull output correctly (issue 4043).
* Fixes for ``gmx`` tools.
* Fix incorrect behaviour with single residue chains in pdb2gmx (issue 4029).
* Fix grompp check for position restraints with absolute reference (issue 3996).
