Hey Tom,
I have a similar machine, Supermicro 4-way AMD Opteron 6380. I think the problem you have is _not_ related to NAMD but to the linux kernel not detecting the special AMD NUMA architecture for magny-cores correctly. Do you have the latest BIOS installed on that system?

Betreff: namd-l: NAMD error LInux 3.11.10-21-desktop kernel AMD opternon 6272
The following may be related to the recent colvars post but not very likely.
Has anyone seen similar problems or willing to run a test on similar hardware/kernel configuration?
I recently demonstrated that my Supermicro (H8DG6 motherboard) with AMD Opteron(TM) Processor 6272
and the linux 3.11.10-21 x86_64 kernel (opensuse 13.1) has a memory problem that crashes a shared memory run w/ NAMD2.9/2.10
Using the same kernel/OS/simulation/namd versions but on intel based machines works fine.
Using the same simulation/OS/namd versions but with desktop-3.11.6-4.1.x86_64 kernel works fine on the supermicro /AMD machine
Seems something has gone wrong between desktop-3.11.6-4.1.x86_64 and 3.11.10-21 x86_64 that may be
AMD Opteron 6272 or Supermicro H8DG6 specific to my shared memory namd runs. Charmrun works in all cases.
Thanks
TOm

Dear all:
I recently compiled NAMD-2.10b1 for Linux-x86_64-MPI. I ran normal MD simulations perfectly fine with 16-128 cores of CPU. However when I tried to start metadynamics simulations, I got the following error messages:

The input files worked also fine with NAMD-2.9 on, say, gordon cluster or stampede. Unfortunately I cannot successfully compile NAMD-2.9 on our current cluster after several tries. So I cannot say..
Thanks in advance for any advices!
