Hello Everybody,
I am planning to buy sixteen AMD64 Athlon dual core machines (with
Linux) for running G03 in parallel. They will be connected by
ethernet. I never have any experience in running gaussian with Linux
cluster. So my questions are the following:
1. Can G03 be run parallel in the above configuration?
2. Do you need to have Linda for running parallel in the above
configuration?
You need Linda to run G03 in parallel.
The OpenMP parallelization should also work without Linda - but of course
limited to some routines and 2 cores.
3. Do you recommend any other processor?
We run G03 on both Xeon and Opteron Beowulf Clusters and are very
pleased with the Opterons.
4. Which brand of Linux is good for running G03 parallel?
This depends on whether you have the binary or source code version.
If you use the binaries, you should follow Gaussian's
recommendations. We run G03 (64-bit) on SuSE 9.0 and RedHat AS 4
without any problems.
5. Pals sharer your experience with running G03 parallel in Linux
cluster (like tricks, problems, failure etc).
Good luck! G03 can be finicky.
For a Tight Integration into SGE I put some hints on their list (if you intend
to use a queuing system):
