Note: This page has not been updated to reflect the move to taki from maya.

Introduction

The GROMACS software on maya is available under

[araim1@maya-usr1 ~]$ ls /usr/cluster/gromacs/4.6.5/
bin  include  lib  share
[araim1@maya-usr1 ~]$ 

The executables are in the bin subdirectory and have a “g_” prefix.

[araim1@maya-usr1 ~]$ ls /usr/cluster/gromacs/4.0.7/bin
completion.bash       g_eneconv              g_mdrun              g_saltbr
completion.csh        g_eneconv_d            g_mdrun_d            g_saltbr_d
completion.zsh        g_eneconv_d_debug      g_mdrun_d_debug      g_saltbr_d_debug
