    Per the GROMACS installation instructions, you want the precision of
    FFTW to match the precision of GROMACS. You'll have to find out what
    precision of FFTW is available for your distro and then decide. Note
    that single-precision will often be labelled fftwf or fftws, and
    double-precision fftw or fftwd.<br>

                    Dear Users:<br>
                    <br>
                    We recently received our new computer. &nbsp;This
                    computer have 4 multicore<br>
                    Opteron AMD cpus and I am planning to install
                    GROMAS. Which options I will<br>
                    need to use in order to achieve the best possible
                    performance?<br>
                    Which compiler GNU or Intel?<br>
                    <br>
                    Thank you for all you help.<br>
                    <br>
                    Anthony<br>
