AW: [gmx-users] expected it to be for 1 nodes

[Jens Krüger]

Hello Jeroen,
 
try somthing like:
 
>lamboot machinefile.input             (to start MPI on all nodes
specified in the input file)
 
>lamnodes                                    (to see, if every node is
really there)
 
>mpirun n0-1 mdrun_mpi -v -np 2 ... (to start the job on cpu0 and cpu1)
 
In my experience mpi AND mdrun like to know, that they shall run the job
on two cpu's.
 
Best regards,
 
 
Jens

Betreff: [gmx-users] expected it to be for 1 nodes


Machine: dual processor dell precision 650 with SuSE linux 9.2
Software: 1) mpich installed, machines file constructed, mpd started 2)
compiled gromacs twice, once with and once without --enable-mpi (using
mpich). So, I ended up with two programmes, mdrun_mpi and mdrun. The
program versions are different in size which I would expect... Indeed,
one program was compiled with cc and the other with mpicc (no errors
during compilation).

Step 1: grompp -np 2 -f full.mdp -c after_pr_CA.gro -p ph5.top -n
index.ndx -o 2cpu.tpr
Step 2: mdrun_mpi -np 2 -s 2cpu.tpr  >>>> Fatal error: run input file
2cpu.tpr was made for 2 nodes, while mdrun_mpi expected it to be for 1
nodes.

Question 1. Are my commands correct i.e. is this the proper why to
start?
Question 2. Can this work at all or do I really need 2 computers (2
nodes)? 


Thanx for any hints, Jeroen.
