Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the cluster computer world. I've built a four-computer
cluster, each with a 6-core AMD Phenom processor running Ubuntu Server
10.10 64 bit. I've tried both the TCP optimized version on NAMD and
compiling from scratch with the mpi-Linux-X86_64 build of Charm. In all
cases, I'm getting about a 4-fold reduction in calculation times when I
run the job utilizing all four computers (i.e. going from +p6 to +p24
causes a big slowdown). This seems odd and I was wondering if anyone
had any suggestions as to where I might have gone wrong.
