Dear all,
I have big problem probably with Load Balancer in NAMD 2.6b1 (TCP and
UDP). It runs on 8 workstations based on Dual Core Athlon64 X2 under
Fedora Core4. NAMD jobs started on that "cluster" crashed after a few
minutes of computing. I've been trying to make some debugging of NAMD
LDB but unsuccessfully. For example, when I run my job using command:
charmrun ++p 14 ++nodelist ~/.nodelist $NAMDBIN/namd2 +LBNoBackground
+LBSameCpus +LBDebug 10 +giga +LBUseCpuTime INFILE_1 >debug.out
job crashes printing that lines on the end of output:
(...)

When it happens only one NAMD process is running (at 100% CPU) - all
others processes are in Sleep state. I've tried increasing and
decreasing number of processes but without any successes.
I've updated BIOS on each of them, and all updates from Fedora Project
are installed.
Is someone know, what could it be?
Thanks a lot,
Sebastian
