Hi!

We're two network and systemadminstration students at the University of Skövde, Sweden and we've built a OSCAR cluster and now we need to benchmark it. We want to run HPCC Benchmark and we've compiled it with lam and used ATLAS compiled on our system. The problem is it works great on three nodes and four CPUs. As soon as we change hpccinf.txt to a larger grid (PxQ) to use all 15 computing nodes (16 CPUs, 4x4) the benchmark won't start. We have also tried with 2x4,1x8,2x3,3x3,3x4 but nothing larger then 2x2 och 1x4 works for us. The cluster consists of two dual AMD 2400+ with 2 GB RAM and one of these is the masternode, the other is a computing node. Four AMD 1900+, 1 GB RAM and ten AMD 1900+ with 512 MB RAM. The masternode as two nic's and the private (eth1) is connected to a Summit4 and all nodes are connected to that switch with fastethernet. This is the hpccinf.txt that we uses when we try to run the benchmark on 16 CPUs:

##### This line (no. 32) is ignored (it serves as a separator). ######

0 number of additional blocking sizes for PTRANS
40 9 8 13 13 20 16 32 64        values of NB

The N value is sqrt(.75*15*536870912/8) since we want to use 15 nodes and the least avalible RAM at any node is 512 MB

Any help or ideas would be greatly apriciated!
