Oh, wow, thank you, I just stumbled over this problem yesterday, only a few
minutes before Jyh-Shyong posted his report. I could compile pmemd now
(opteron, mpich (Infiniband), pgf90)
I tested Amber8 with all available patches on our opteron cluster (running
Rocks) and everything seems to work fine so far. Pmemd instead justs seems
to hang quite often, tested with the factor ix benchmark.
Interestingly, a pmemd run of factor ix with 4 slots (2 nodes) always hangs
at the same point (if it generates output at all, sometimes it just opens
the filehandle without writing to it)

Several runs with 64 slots stopped earlier, some of them ran just fine...
Seems a bit diffuse.
Is Pmemd known to run less stable compared to sander?
Thanks in advance,
Lars
