Peter -
ntr=1 should work (its in the stand pmemd test suite). There are various
aspects of pgi compilers + pmemd I am less certain about. I have pgi 5.2
basically working on cray opteron boxes, but have not tested everything yet,
and there are a lot of cray mods involved. I was actually trying to get 5.2
running today on a linux opteron cluster, and it was a total nightmare in
regard to being sure that pgi is getting the right libraries. Ultimately, I
had some i/o problems and cpu_time does not work, so I don't have a lot of
faith in this combination. I got pathscale working beautifully in about 10
minutes on the opteron, on the other hand. I would be interested in getting
more info on your exact setup, but it is entirely possible that pgi simply
cannot correctly compile pmemd at this point in time. I will be working on
this more, but in the meantime I might suggest trying a pathscale evaluation
copy (www.pathscale.com). It is known to produce faster code. I will have
a more complete opinion on the suitability of this compiler for opterons in
the near future.
