Hi everyone,
I have been told that MPI parallelization is not optimal on SGI
machines, whereas OpenMP is. From my own recent experience, I have found
that my jobs take about twice as long to complete as suggested by the
actual cpu time reported in the output file. I just checked the AMBER6
manual, and in the INSTALL.parallel file (in the "Shared Memory"
section) it is stated that:
"Under development is an OpenMP version which should be portable to a
variety
of shared memory multiprocessor machines."
Would anyone know when the OpenMP implementation might be ready for use?
Also, any comments on any of the above are welcome.
Thanks,
Marios
