Hi Vincent.
We have a similar setup here at Guelph and I know how confusing it can be to set this up the first time. First make sure you have the latest message passing toolkit installed from SGI as well as array services. Both are available free from the sgi web site. Then compile with the
Machine.sgi_mpi. You might need to add the path to the MPI compiler to MACHINEFLAGS in Machine.sgi_mpi. I also just compiled sander with mpi support, since this was the only program from AMBER that I was planning on using with multiple processors. In order to run the job make sure
array services is running and type mpirun -np 4 sander etc... and it should then use all four processors. You can assign as many or few processors as you want to each job using the -np flag.
Hope that helps.
