Re: Running NAMD on SGE cluster - multiple modes and cores

Hello,
thank you for the quick response although it still doesn’t work. Without MPI it does not even produce error message, but you were right,
I set the MPI environment variable to give the file with hosts to the mpi.

But still it runs only on the one node.
My new command looks like this:
charmrun ++mpiexec ++remote-shell mpirun +p124 namd2 conf > out

Regards,
Anna Gorska
