Dear Sir/Madam,
I had compiled *NAMD 2.10 *using intel 2015 compiler suite.
Now presently i am benchmarking the application on my system (CentOS 6.5
Xeon 2670 v3), though i will incrementally add optimization flags as per my
architecture.
I am using *apoa1.tar.gz* example for benchmarking NAMD.
Now when i use:
   - *mpirun -np 1 ./namd2 +ppn 23 +idlepoll ./apoa1/apoa1.namd*
i get:
[0] Stack Traceback:
  [0:0] CmiAbortHelper+0x71  [0xf02481]
  [0:1] ConverseInit+0x30a  [0xf03a6a]

   [Partition 0][Node 0] End of progra
Though i guess i am getting my task done with *np* flag of mpirun, but i
want to know why the segfault occurs when *ppn* flag is used with mpirun.
The bench mark here <http://www.hpc.cineca.it/content/namd-benchmark> uses
ppn flag hence , so i doubt now that weather i have built the binary
correctly or not ( Attached : NAMD installation script)!
Eagerly awaiting your reply,
Thanks & Regards,
Puneet Singh
