ok, i've been experimenting with namd built with openmpi and running 
binaries over IPoIB and its not going so well.
my namd2.9 built with gcc 4.7.1 and the apoa1 test data with 4 nodes by 
12 cores per node is:
[mgx_at_cmbcluster namd]$ mpirun -np 48 -machinefile nodes 
/shared/namd-2.9-gcc471/Linux-x86_64-g++/namd2 apoa1/apoa1.namd
