If you have 32 cores, why requesting to start 128 workers then?

Betreff: namd-l: NAMD SMP version warning - Reg

 

Dear all,

 

             I am using NAMD 2.12 SMP (infiniband version), while running in my cluster it shows the following warning

 

Charm++> Running on 1 unique compute nodes (32-way SMP).
Charm++> cpu topology info is gathered in 0.069 seconds.

Charm++> Warning: the number of SMP threads (136) is greater than the number of physical cores (32), so threads will sleep while idling. Use +CmiSpinOnIdle or +CmiSleepOnIdle to control this directly.

 

 

                  How can i rectify this problem? and performance also very slow. I am using following command to run namd: charmrun ++mpiexec +p128 ++ppn 16 ++nodelist $LOADL_HOSTFILE namd2 <file>

I am having 16 cores per processor.

 

Kindly help me in these regard.
