Hi Rima,

What did you set the DO_PARALLEL environment variable to here? You don't
mention it.

The error is that the mpi process could not find the executable called '-o'
this suggests that it is looking for the wrong thing. I suspect that
DO_PARALLEL has not been set or has been set incorrectly hence the problems.
Note when running parallel all nodes have to see the exact same file system
in the same place so you should make sure that this is the case.
To test sander.MPI interactively you would do something like
unset TESTsander
export DO_PARALLEL='mpirun -np 4 --machinefile mymachfile'
cd $AMBERHOME/test
make test.parallel
to test pmemd you would do:
unset TESTsander
export DO_PARALLEL='mpirun -np 4 --machinefile mymachfile'
cd $AMBERHOME/test
make test.pmemd
if you are running through a queuing system like pbs then you should request
an interactive run following the instructions for your queuing system. Then
do something like (this will vary wildly based on the queuing system):
export DO_PARALLEL='mpirun -np 4 --machinefile $PBSNODEFILE'
cd $AMBERHOME/test
make test.pmemd
Note you need to ensure that your environment gets correctly exported to all
of the nodes.
BTW if this a semi-decent interconnect like infiniband and you plan to run
on more than a couple of nodes I seriously suggest that you choose a good
MPI implementation like MVAPICH or Intel MPI - OpenMPI's performance is
pretty aweful. E.g. for PMEMD on a dualxquad core clovertown system with SDR
infiniband:
FactorIX benchmark
ps/day
ncpus openmpi MVAPICH2
2 383.43
8 1136.84 1157.14
16 1963.64 2090.32
32 2817.39 3410.53
64 3600.00 5400.00
128 2945.45 8100.00

Note the fact that the mpi script can't find the ORTE_ERROR_LOG file
suggests that you do not have the MPI environment set up correctly. Check
the openmpi docs to make sure you are setting the paths / environment
variables correctly.

No I don't see this at all from the errors above. If this were the case it
would say something like "Error loading shared library...". The error you
are seeing is that it is trying to execute '-o' instead of
$AMBERHOME/exe/sander.MPI

You shouldn't need to do any of this - this should all be taken care of by
just calling the mpif90 script. If it looked to compile properly and gave
you sander.MPI in the exe directory then don't mess with the config_amber.h
file

Are you trying to run this as root!!?? OpenMPI will most likely not run as
root - most mpi implementations won't run as root because they cannot rsh to
each node to start the job.
I would start with something simple - make sure you can run mpi jobs. Try
something like 'mpirun -np 8 ls' and see if you get 8 copies of the
directory listed. Try the openmpi tests - I haven't looked at openmpi myself
but I assume it includes test cases.
Good luck,
Ross
