You need at least 2*#replicas processes. Please also tell us what "would not
start" actually means?

Subject: namd-l: Using the multi-copy version of NAMD on a linux workstation

 

Hi,

I am interested in using the multi-copy algorithms in NAMD on my Linux
workstation. It is a standard Dell Precision workstation with 8 cores. I
want to do this for debugging some codes.
I downloaded the installation listed under "Linux-x86_64-netlrts
<http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Development/Download/download.cgi?UserID=&AccessCode
=&ArchiveID=1320> (Multi-copy algorithms)" and tried to run it with the
following command.

charmrun +p4 ++local ./namd2 +replicas 16 initial.conf +stdout
output/%02d/job00.%04d.log

The program would not start. My questions are:

1. Is this the right version of NAMD for using the multiple copy algorithms?
2. If yes, what is the correct way to launch the executable.

Thanks,
Avisek
