The input file:
&data
     ntrun=4,
     nsave=2,
     ndiag=2,
     cut=95.0,
     nprint=100,
     drms=0.00001,
     maxcyc=100,
     bdwnhl=0.01,
     dfpred=0.1,
     scnb=2.0,
     scee=2.0,
     nvect=200,
     ntxo=1,
 &end

The machine:
I run it on Opteron-based compute cluster, it has a head node with dual
Opteron 246 CPUs, 4GB RAM and mirrored 160GB SATA disks.
The OS is SuSE Linux 9.3

Thanks a lot!
