Yeah.
Check the machinefile tells mpich what you think it does. It looks pretty
certain to be an issue with mpich rather than gromacs. Unfortunately, I don't
use mpich any more because I find LAM better. Standard procedure, turn up the
verbosity on everything, check the outputs, re-read the relevant manuals.

Thanks Alan
in fact I've already added the option -machinefile, here's the script:
cat $PBS_NODEFILE >/home/liuxin/mpd.hosts
/home/liuxin/mpich2/bin/mpdboot -n 6 -f mpd.hosts
/home/liuxin/mpich2/bin/mpiexec -machinefile $PBS_NODEFILE -np 12 /home/liuxin/
programs/gromacs33mpi/bin/mdrun -v -s 12np.tpr -o -c -e -g -np 12
I am a little busy today, sorry for replying so late...

Check the MPICH manuals for how to specify the nodes to run on. From memory,
the option -machinefile lets you do this.

Subject: [gmx-users] only one cpu "works" in my linux cluster
Dear GMXers
this is how I've done it so far:
grompp -f -c -p -o 12np.tpr -np 12
qsub -l node=6 12np.sh (/home/me/mpich2/bin/mpirun -np 12 mdrun -s 12np.tpr -np
12 )
then it seems my mdrun works fine, but when I ssh to each node to check the cpu
efficiency with "top", I find that there's only one cpu works with 12
processes! The other nodes are completely idle.
the cluster have 56 Intel Xeon duo 3.0G CPUs, below is my system info:
Linux login 2.4.21-32.EL #1 SMP Fri Apr 15 21:02:58 EDT 2005 x86_64 x86_64
x86_64 GNU/Linux
our administrator have installed mpich1.2.7 in the default DIR (/usr/local),
but I have some problems to do mpi-mdrun with mpich1.2.7, so I installed mpich2
in my personal dir.
I've searched the list, but cant get any solution. Does it have something to do
with the kernel or there's some conflict between mpich1 and 2, or something
else?
This is the first time I build up a Linux Cluster on my own, ANY suggestions
are appreciated !
