A poor choice of job submission or simulation parameters leads to poor performance and a waste of computing resources when running molecular dynamics simulations.
A common mistake is requesting too many CPUs or GPUs to run a simulation as fast as possible. However, the fastest simulations may be inefficient due to poor parallel scaling. As a result, such simulations use excessive resources and negatively impact priority, resulting in longer queue times and reduced productivity.
