Dear All

I want to use NAMD 2.6 on a Blue Gene/P machine. I have tried the
downloadable executable but the performance and scaling are very poor,
even with the twoAway options in the configuration file and setting
BG_MAPPING=TXYZ (the system is also a bit small, 33000 atoms but I cant
change that).
  Are there any other "simple" fixes which might help ?

Assuming that the only solution is to compile it myself any suggestions
before I dive in ?

many thanks
Andy Emerson
