Now I'm very sad: I cannot ask a 7-day job on an IBM-SP6 just to discover that they may be not enough. Don't you think there's a bottleneck somewhere in the code? What's the reason for such heaviness? Rob On 21/03/2011 18:59, Christopher Rowan wrote: I performed optical calculations on system

I performed optical calculations on systems with up to 1300 atoms (PVDF adsorbing onto Ag (30 atoms) on 64 cores. Including all bands and sampling a 1x1x1 optical mesh the calculations took 7 days. Chris On 21 March 2011 03:59, Roberto Guerra wrote: > Hello, > > I'm working on a quite large sys

Hello, I'm working on a quite large system (Si, O, ~1000 atoms in total) and it relaxed quite well on 64 opteron cpus. At the end I wish to evaluate the optical absorption (epsimg) but it takes forever for this computation: could not complete in 24 hours. As far as I know this calculation shou
