[gmx-users] Still no joy - Cannot run in parallel

[Alan Wilter Sousa da Silva]

Hi Dr. Spoel,

	Well, I tried what you said, but ... :(, I got:

input>
mpirun  -c 2 -c2c -O mdrun_mpi -s water.tpr -o water.trr  -c
water_out.gro -v -g water.log -np 2

output>
mpirun: cannot start mdrun_mpi on n1: No such file or directory

	So, reading a little bit, I made some changes...:

input>
mpirun  -c 2 -c2c -O -v -s n0 mdrun_mpi -s water.tpr -o w ater.trr
-c water_out.gro -v -g water.log -np 2

output>
18439 mdrun_mpi running on n0 (o)
993 mdrun_mpi running on n1
mdrun_mpi: error while loading shared libraries: libmd_mpi.so.1: cannot
load shared object file: No such file or directory
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems that [at least] one of processes that was started with mpirun
did not invoke MPI_INIT before quitting (it is possible that more than
one process did not invoke MPI_INIT -- mpirun was only notified of the
first one, which was on node n0).

mpirun can *only* be used with MPI programs (i.e., programs that
invoke MPI_INIT and MPI_FINALIZE).  You can use the "lamexec" program
to run non-MPI programs over the lambooted nodes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Giving more details about my cluster.  I installed lam in every node.  The
others nodes just have a HD, no keyboard, no video.

I'm using MOSIX.  I would expect mdrun_mpi to share itself in several
jobs, so MOSIX could take care of every job.  With MPI, as I realize now,
MOSIX wouldn't be necessary.

My LAM is working fine (I guess), so what more can I do, please?
