Gromacs 4.0.3、4.5.5版安装方法

文/Sobereva @北京科音    Last update: 2012-Jan-6

下面是gromacs4.0.3安装方法。4.5.5版安装方法见本文后半。

gmx4.0.3安装方法

平台：F7-64bit、Q6600、gcc4.1.2、mpich2-1.0.7、root、ifort 10.1.015，软件版本gromacs4.0.3，安装在/sob/gromacs

安装的是并行版本、单精度版本。

指定编译器和编译选项：

export CC=gcc

export CXX=g++

export CFLAGS="-O3 -msse -msse2 -msse3 -mssse3 -march=core2"

export CXXFLAGS="-O3 -msse -msse2 -msse3 -mssse3 -march=core2"

export FFLAGS="-O3 -axT" //用C编译器编译内核的话不用这步

复制mpich2-1.0.7.tar.gz到/sob，解压到/sob/mpich2-1.0.7，进入此目录，运行：

./configure

make

make install

运行

touch /etc/mpd.conf

chmod 700 /etc/mpd.conf

将下面加入mpd.conf:

secretword= (比如secretword=ltwd)

解压fftw3.1.2压缩包到/sob下，进入fftw-3.1.2目录

./configure --enable-float --with-gcc-arch=core2

make

make install

默认安在了/usr/local/include(lib)下。

解压gromacs-4.0压缩包到/sob下，进入gromacs-4.0目录，

./configure --prefix=/sob/gromacs --enable-mpi -enable-fortran

make

make install

在/root/.bashrc中添加PATH=$PATH:/sob/gromacs/bin，MANPATH=$MANPATH:/sob/gromacs/share/man。输入bash使环境变量生效

此时可删掉/sob下的fftw3.1.2目录、gromacs-4.0目录和mpich2-1.0.7目录。留下安好的gromacs目录。

*******

如果我们要进行QMMM计算，需要编译时设定，目前gromacs支持gamess-UK、mopac7、gaussian98/03，这里介绍把mopac7编进gromacs的方法。

下载http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~ggroenh/qmmm/mopac/dcart.f

下载http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~ggroenh/qmmm/mopac/SGI/mopac7.tar.gz

把mopac7.tar.gz解压，把刚下载的dcart.f放进去替换原文件，把目录下的mopac.f、moldat.f、deriv.f删掉。运行：

ifort -O2 -c *.f

ar rcv libmopac.a *.o

ranlib libmopac.a然后把libmopac.a放到/lib下

export CPPFLAGS=-DUSE_MOPAC

export LIBS=-lmopac

之后同样进行configure步骤，但多加一个参数--with-qmmm-mopac，即运行：

./configure --prefix=/sob/gromacs --enable-mpi -enable-fortran --with-qmmm-mopac

之后make、make install即可。

********

PS:

用mkl的话，先修改./configure

把两处LIBS="-lmkl $LIBS"改成LIBS="-lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core $LIBS"

然后运行./configure --prefix=/sob/gromacs4mkl --enable-mpi -enable-fortran --with-fft=mkl CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/intel/mkl/10.0.4.023/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/intel/mkl/10.0.4.023/lib/em64t，串行版本比fftw有提升，但是并行版本相对fftw却没有提升。如果是32bit平台，-lmkl_intel_lp64改为lmkl_intel，把.../lib/em64t改为.../lib/32

如果硬盘空间紧张，可以在./configure时加入--enable-shared来使用共享库，最终得到的bin非常小，gmx4.0中只有2.3MB，远小于使用静态库的172.65MB，只不过gromacs/lib文件夹里面会多出4约20MB。另外需要再添加环境变量LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/sob/gromacs/lib。使用静态库或者动态库对运行速度基本没有影响。

gmx的内核有C语言和fortran两套版本，默认是C语言编译，如果用了-enable-fortran就是用fortran编译器编译，此时建议用ifort。用这个选项对gmx3.3.x来说并不会使性能有所多少提升，但对gmx 4.0.x来说性能提升明显。./configure的时候可以在后面加F77=xxx来指定fortran编译器。用gfortran可能会报错。

没必要用icc，性能相比用gcc不会有丝毫提升。

如果已经make过了，之后想./configure接新的选项重新编译，应当先执行make distclean

--program-suffix=[suffix]给出来的程序名加个后缀，可以区分单双精度版本、串行并行版本。比如先不加--enable-mpi编译一遍，然后make distclean，再加上--enable-mpi和--program-suffix=_mpi编译一遍，这样mdrun和mdrun_mpi串并行版本互不干扰。实际上没有必要单独编译串行版本，如果只是1个CPU用，就当成-np 1即可。

--disable-float或--enable-double可以编译成双精度版本(默认采用的是单精度)，双精度版本速度约为单精度60%，对常规分子动力学来说单精度就够了，除了简正振动分析等情况。

老gmx版本有一些问题，在gmx4.0.3皆已修正，写在这里作为参考。

gmx4.0.0开-enable-fortran编译出错：把src/gmxlib/libxdrf.c的第1156行#define XDR_INT_SIZE 4挪到第68行，即在#ifdef GMX_FORTRAN之前。

编译得到的g_spatial和g_cluster完全一样：把src/tools/g_spatial.c里面的gmx_cluster改成gmx_spatial(gmx4.0.3已修正)

gmx4.5.5安装方法

RHEL6-U1 64bit, 2630QM, root

#Install Intel Fortran Composer XE(Linux) 2011.1.107 to default folder (/opt/intel)

#This step can be skipped if you want to use threats parallelization

#In mpich2 1.4.1 folder:

./configure

make

make install

#Now mpich2 1.4.1 folder can be deleted

#In fftw-3.3:

./configure --enable-threads --enable-single --enable-sse2 --enable-avx F77=ifort --prefix=/sob/fftw3.3

make -j 4

make install

#Now fftw-3.3 folder can be deleted

#In gromacs-4.5.5 folder

#If you prefer to use MPI parallelization, add --enable-mpi to below command

./configure --with-fft=fftw3 --prefix=/sob/gromacs455 LDFLAGS="-L/sob/fftw3.3/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/sob/fftw3.3/include" -enable-shared=no

make -j 4

make install

#Now gromacs-4.5.5 folder can be deleted

#Add "export PATH=$PATH:/sob/gromacs455/bin" to /root/.bashrc

注：如果想用fortran编译内核，先export F77=ifort，并在./configure中加上--enable-fortran。然而性能并不会有丝毫提升，甚至还略微下降。threads并行和MPI并行在单机上效率差不多，前者并没体现出额外优势，只是方便了。
