Hi Maxime,
I usually use the option "++mpiexec" to run NAMD with ibverbs (the
following is a single line):
$BINDIR/charmrun +p${NPROCS} ++mpiexec ++remote-shell mpiexec_wrapper
$BINDIR/namd2 config.namd
$BINDIR is the path to your NAMD executable.
"mpiexec_wrapper" is a script that I got a while ago from Jim Philipps.
You can copy the following lines to a file called "mpiexec_wrapper" and
make it executable:
#!/bin/csh
exec mpiexec -machinefile $PBS_NODEFILE $*
If you run on GPU as well, you should be able to simply add to the line
above:
+devices 0,1,2 +idlepoll
However, I need to say that if you are running on a single node and you do
not need to use the network, the multicore version might be slightly
faster than ibverbs. This is because you will not have the overhead of the
network libraries. I usually use ibverbs only if running on more than one
node.
