[gmx-users] Running with > 5 NODES

[Mehmet Suezen]

Hi All,

FFTW has its own test  script. It's successful, at least in my case. But
even after
David`s suggestions, I do have still problems with running Gromacs with
MPICH.  
Does any body know, do I have to run in different manner for Linux SMP
cluster?
I've just try to test MPICH with given water example

$ more spc216.gro
$ more water.top
$ more water.mdp
$ grompp_d -np 2 -f water.mdp -p water.top -c spc216.gro -o water.tpr
$ gmxdump_d -s water.tpr | more
$ /users/suzen/mpich-1.2.2.1/bin/mpirun -np 2 -machinefile file_hosts
/home/suzen/MDcodes/gromacs/linux/bin/mdrun_d -s water.tpr -o water.trr
-c water_out.gro -v -g water.log

In case of single cpu, it works fine. Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn`t
help. After I execute last command
mpirun appeared very short time in process table and then droped without
producing any .log file.
It is puzzling like that running with > 5 node problem of choon peng.
Even I tried to recompile it several times carefully.

Many Thanks,

Mehmet
