well, thanx lubos..the link you gave was
informative..but in the third thread as you mentioned,
you said that the modification of code pertains to
running jobs using PBS and mpiexec..but, i'm trying to
run my parallel jobs using mpirun and without pbs..i'm
actually trying to run the default benchmark given by
the amber8 distro, using mpirun...my DO_PARALLEL
variable looks like this..
DO_PARALLEL="mpirun -np 2 -machinefile
$MPICH_HOME/share/machines.LINUX"
i cannot see anything wrong with this declaration..but
i observed another strange thing today..as we know, a
parallel job creates a temporary file with the process
id of sander as its name and lists all the nodes on
which the job is being run...till amber7, sander used
to accept nodes in powers of two..but now, my
DO_PARALLEL variable started accepting any number of
nodes irrespective of it being a power of two or
not....i'm wondering if it is a modification in the
source code that has been brought about in amber8 or
it is a compilation error on my cluster !!
and i could not find an appropriate correction to my
mdfil.f file (excluding usage of pbs, mpiexec etc)
thanks in anticipation..
