hello,
I am having 13010 atoms in my system.
the cpu that i am using has the following details:

 Intel E5-2670 series CPUs with 16 cores/node and has 64 GB RAM.

the command line i am using is :

#mpirun -machinefile $PBS_NODEFILE -np $NPROCS $AMBERHOME/bin/sander.MPI -O
-i min.in -p fib.prmtop -c fib.inpcrd -r min.rst -o min.out


mpirun -machinefile $PBS_NODEFILE -np $NPROCS $AMBERHOME/bin/pmemd.MPI -O
-i heat1.in -p fib.prmtop -c min.rst -r heat1.rst -o heat1.out -x heat1.nc
-inf heat1.mdinfo


my min.in file has the following parameters:
Stage 1 - minimisation of fibril
 &cntrl
  imin=1, maxcyc=1000, ncyc=500,
  cut=999., rgbmax=999.,igb=8, ntb=0,
  ntpr=100
 /

using 1 node I am getting a speed of :
Average timings for last 50 steps:
| Elapsed(s) = 33.80 Per Step(ms) = 675.91
| ns/day = 0.06 seconds/ns = 1351821.64
|
| Average timings for all steps:
| Elapsed(s) = 26982.45 Per Step(ms) = 674.56
| ns/day = 0.06 seconds/ns = 1349122.30

 using 2 nodes I am getting a speed of :

Average timings for last 150 steps:
| Elapsed(s) = 51.65 Per Step(ms) = 344.37
| ns/day = 0.13 seconds/ns = 688733.19
|
| Average timings for all steps:
| Elapsed(s) = 13726.02 Per Step(ms) = 343.15
| ns/day = 0.13 seconds/ns = 686300.95


using 8 nodes:
Average timings for last 250 steps:
| Elapsed(s) = 23.90 Per Step(ms) = 95.62
| ns/day = 0.45 seconds/ns = 191236.85
|
| Average timings for all steps:
| Elapsed(s) = 955.23 Per Step(ms) = 95.52
| ns/day = 0.45 seconds/ns = 191045.67


using 10 nodes i am getting a speed of:

Average timings for last 200 steps:
| Elapsed(s) = 16.28 Per Step(ms) = 81.42
| ns/day = 0.53 seconds/ns = 162838.32
|
| Average timings for all steps:
| Elapsed(s) = 3224.53 Per Step(ms) = 80.61
| ns/day = 0.54 seconds/ns = 161226.62
