Summary of Changes

Hello @CallumWalley, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request primarily enhances the GROMACS.md documentation by introducing practical example SLURM scripts. These examples aim to guide users on how to run GROMACS simulations in different configurations, specifically serial and shared memory setups. Additionally, it includes unverified examples for GPU and multi-node execution, which are currently commented out. The PR also refines existing text for clarity and adds a recommendation regarding checkpointing for long-running jobs.

Highlights

  • New GROMACS Example Scripts: Added a dedicated "Examples" section to the GROMACS documentation, providing SLURM scripts for serial and shared memory execution.
  • Unverified GPU and Multi-Node Examples: Included commented-out SLURM scripts for running GROMACS on GPUs and across multiple nodes, pending verification.
  • Documentation Refinements: Minor text and formatting improvements were made, including a recommendation for using checkpointing in long-running GROMACS jobs.

Sorry for jumping in, but, docs/Scientific_Computing/Supported_Applications/GROMACS.md, line 16:

GROMACS is a proper name. It is not an acronym for anything. (source)

Comment on lines 128 to 130
Unless your problem is so large
that it does not fit on one whole compute node you are probably best
off not using `gmx-mpi`. The GROMACS documentation says on this:

Nitpicking: it would be challenging not to fit a simulation to one node, GROMACS has rather low memory usage. But with the 128+ cores per node (per https://docs.nesi.org.nz/General/FAQs/Mahuika_HPC3_Differences/#cpu-cores-per-node), it could indeed be that one node gives good enough performance for many usecases.

@al42and Thank you for your feedback! Super helpful as I don't have time to get antiquated with GROMACS at the moment.

I removed some stuff, tried to simplify the message.

Remove some duplication.
Uncommented mpi and gpu examples (still untested though).
Clarified GROMACS is not an acronym.
