Another issue is the configuration of Condor. Usually the vanilla universe is not capable of running parallel jobs. However as Ansgar mentioned, if only one process starts it is most probable that you did not use the command mpiexec responsible to start the requested number of processes on the system. So if all works on your machine, just use the corresponding command line in a bash script and submit it to a Condor universe that is capable to treat parallel jobs, requesting the appropriate number of processes with machine_count. /Flo > > Regards, > > A. > > -- > Ansgar Esztermann > DV-Systemadministration > Max-Planck-Institut für biophysikalische Chemie, Abteilung 105 > > -- > gmx-users mailing list [email protected] > http://lists.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users > Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/search before posting! > Please don't post (un)subscribe requests to the list.
