AW: NamdMemoryReduction - genCompressedPsf

Hi Sridhar,

 

didn’t know, shame on me, that 1TB nodes are already used out there. By the
way, how many cores does your node has?

Please make sure that for compressing the PSF you did not used the memory
optimized compile of namd. This feature is already implemented in the normal
namd versions. I guess the memopt namd does only read compressed psf files
so it fails cause of that maybe.

Hi Norman,

 

Yes I tried on a node with 1TB RAM memory.

 

Can anyone please suggest a way around ...

 

Thanks.

Hi All,

I am having a system with 3 million atoms. To use memory optimised version
of NAMD, first I need to compress psf file.
I followed the instructions on this web page -
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/wiki/?NamdMemoryReduction
I am running the first step - genCompressedPsf - on a node with 1 TB
memory, still it is giving the error - {snd:8,rcv:0} Reason: FATAL ERROR:
Memory allocation failed on processor 0.

Any suggestions please
