Hi Dr.Simmerling,
The cluster works fine when i tried smaller structures. When I tried
to run the job interactively the error message was
--------------------------
mpiexec: Warning: main: task 2 died with signal 15
mpiexec: Warning: main: task 3 died with signal 15
=>> PBS: job killed: walltime # exceeded limit #
--------------------------
I did the same run on an sgi with 2 processors it took me about 3 days.
Then to check it on the cluster I reran it on the cluster(4nodes and
2ppn/node) giving the same walltime (3days) but still i get the same
error(as above) that walltime not sufficient.
2. When the job crashes because it exceeded the runtime limit I wonder
what happens to job directory and all the output files. It should have
atleast some of the calculations done. When i run the job in the current
directory rather in the TEMPDIR. I still have all the output files empty
nothing is written to them.
3. I have done the minimization of the structure on SGI using Amber5 then
i transfered the required files to the cluster(cluster has Amber7) to
equilibrate it. Is it possible that the cluster is NOT doing any
calculations because the files were generated on a different Amber
version.
Can you please help me solve the problem
Regards
