I'm trying to move from a dual-core Linux machine to a 32-node x 2 cpu
Mac PPC cluster (running namd2-2.7b2). The config files I'm using work
on the Linux computer. It would be too verbose to relate all the
permutations I've tried (none of which have been successful), so I cite
just the most recent failure:
Ultimately I submit the job to the cluster with the command: `qsub -cwd
-pe openmpi 8 runNAMD`, where 8 is the number of processors called for
in this particular run. the "runNAMD" script is:
*********************************************************************************************
#!/bin/csh
setenv NSLOTS 8
setenv MachineFile "/Volumes/RAID/common/hostfile"
setenv NAMDpath "/common/Applications/NAMD_2.7b2_MacOSX-PPC"
setenv PATH ${PATH}:$NAMDpath
setenv NAMDcmd "$NAMDpath/charmrun +p$NSLOTS ++nodelist ./mach_nodes
$NAMDpath/namd2 2htq_box_test.config"
# setenv NAMDcmd "$NAMDpath/namd2 +p$NSLOTS 2htq_box_test.config" gives
error, must use charmrun
# setenv NAMDcmd "$NAMDpath/namd2 2htq_box_test.config"
echo " "

An excerpt (several repetitions of such messages) from the
"runNAMD.e1095" redirected standard error file is:

Looking at section 15.2 of the "NAMD Users Guide" and the
"CHARM++/Converse Installation and Usage", and trying several
suggestions in them, hasn't helped. I concerned by a note on the
website (../namd/2.6/ug/node43.html), which states that "..a parallel
program depends on a platform-specific library such as MPI to launch.."
and "..you will likely need to recompile NAMD and its underlying Charm++
libraries to use these machines in parallel.."
Succinctly put: Is there a hint or "recipe" of how to run namd2 on such
a Mac cluster?
