That nodelist looks funky to me. I'm betting NAMD expects them to be one per line, only sees 1 line (as in the user guide https://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/2.14/ug/node103.html), and assumes that you only have 1 node. It then nicely generates the configuration you generated on a single node, and goes about its merry way... Until it realizes that you've assigned 8 tasks to 4 GPUs, and warns you that it doesn't like sharing.

Hello all,
Trying to run on a multinode/multi-GPU environment (namd built with
Charm-verbs, cuda SMP and Intel). Each node with 4 GPUs, 40 CPUs:
charmrun ++nodelist nodeListFiletxt ++p 72 ++ppn 9 namd2 +devices
0,1,2,3 +isomalloc_sync +setcpuaffinity +idlepoll +pemap
1-9,11-19,21-29,31-39 +comm
ap 0,10,20,30 stmv.namd
where my nodeListFile.txt looks like:
group main
host andraton11 host andraton12 ++cpus 40 ++shell ssh
I am getting the following error:
FATAL ERROR: Number of devices (4) is not a multiple of number of
processes (8). Sharing devices between processe
s is inefficient. Specify +ignoresharing (each process uses all visible
devices) if not all devices are visible t
o each process, otherwise adjust number of processes to evenly divide
number of devices, specify subset of devices
with +devices argument (e.g., +devices 0,2), or multiply list shared
devices (e.g., +devices 0,1,2,0).
If not using +ignoresharing, how should I run this correctly?
Regards,
