[gmx-developers] thread problem on AMD 12 core chips?

[David van der Spoel]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile and install gromacs release-4-5-patches on a new 
cluster with four 12-core AMD chips (abisko in Umea, Sweden). However 
the threaded code bails out with the following message:

Reading file topol.tpr, VERSION 4.5.5-dev-20120111-9181e (double precision)
Starting 32 threads
tMPI error: tMPI Initialization error (in valid comm)

First, I'm a bit confused why the code detects only 32 cores, second it 
shows above error and quits.

Any clues?
