[AMBER] parallel QM/MM/MD lasts forever

   Dear Amber users,
   When I run some QM/MM/MD calculation on 16 procesors (parallel, 2 nodes, 8
   ppn) I notice that the calculations lasts forever and stuck (still running)
   at the first picosecond (after 6 hours still at the same step) but when I
   use only 1 processor it moves faster, any idea? below my input:
   ###These lines are for Moab
   #MSUB -l nodes=2:ppn=8
   #MSUB -l partition=ALL
   #MSUB -l walltime=100:00:00
   #MSUB -m be
   #MSUB -V
   #MSUB -o
   /export/home/msoliman/scratch/Amber/glycosidase_work/pmf/AM1/one_coordinate/
   amber.our
   #MSUB -e
   /export/home/msoliman/scratch/Amber/glycosidase_work/pmf/AM1/one_coordinate/
   amber.err
   #MSUB -d
   /export/home/msoliman/scratch/Amber/glycosidase_work/pmf/AM1/one_coordinate/
   #MSUB -mb
   ##### Running commands
   ####nproc=`wc $PBS_NODEFILE | awk '{print $1}'`
   exe=/export/home/msoliman/bin/amber10/bin/sander.MPI
   nproc=`cat $PBS_NODEFILE | wc -l`
   mpirun -np $nproc -machinefile $PBS_NODEFILE $exe -O -i equil.qmmm.in -o
   equil.qmmm.out -p com_solvated.top -c com_solvated_opt.qmmm.rst -r

   Thanks
