AW: NAMD/VMD installation on Linux Clusters with InfiniBand

Hello Anilkumar,

 

I’m afraid you will have to build namd for this special architecture on your
own, there’s no precompiled build. The available builds are incompatible as
they can’t use bigendian binary numbers like the IBM uses. But fortunately,
building namd is not that difficult.

You will find the required information on how to do it, at least in some
README files shipped with the namd source. You will not need any special
compilers else than the usual GNU ones. If you are lucky, the IT service,
managing the cluster, will help you. Inform yourself about the infiniband
installation, if not the OFED driver is used or IPoIB is not installed, you
will have to build namd against a separate MPI instead of simply using
charm++.

Feel free to ask if you get stucked somewhere.

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

 

Norman Geist.
