Hi,
1. Can we see some benchmark timings from 1 to 8 nodes?
2. Try adding +idlepoll to the namd command.
3. What speed does your infiniband have?

Betreff: namd-l: running namd in parallel
Dear all,
I wish to run namd in parallel. I am using an ibverbs version. It is unable
to scale up. Kindly suggest me what has to be done to parallelize namd. The
script that I am currently using is this:
#!/bin/bash
#@ output = test.out
#@ error = test.err
#@ job_type = MPICH
#@ class = Medium128
#@ node = 8
#@tasks_per_node = 16
#@ environment = COPY_ALL
#@ queue
Jobid=`echo $LOADL_STEP_ID | cut -f 6 -d .`
tmpdir=$HOME/scratch/job$Jobid
mkdir -p $tmpdir; cd $tmpdir
cat $LOADL_HOSTFILE >xx
cp -R $LOADL_STEP_INITDIR/* $tmpdir
cat $LOADL_HOSTFILE | uniq >xx
/sware/namd/NAMD_2.9_Linux-x86_64-ibverbs/charmrun mpiexec.hydra -np 128 -f
$LOADL_HOSTFILE +ppn 16 /sware/namd/NAMD_2.9_Linux-x86_64-ibverbs/namd2
equ_cyca.namd > equi.log
mv ../job$Jobid $LOADL_STEP_INITDIR
Initially it does run in all 8 nodes and 16 processors but later on some
nodes have only 2 or 3 processors working (at the maximum) while most others
show no job running. I am totally new to namd. Kindly consider this request
and help me out in this regard.
Thank you so much for your help in advance.
