Hi, The former warning is the direct consequence of the latter. Your job scheduler or MPI launcher is setting process affinity; as a result the OpenMP library reports 1 CPU in contrast with the 20 CPUs/cores that our low-level detection reports. You could be loosing a considerable amount of performance if the thread affinity you set/get is not the correct/suitable one - my guess is that it likely is, consecutive ranks are likely pinned to consecutive cores.
You can try either disabling the affinity setting in PBS or using some MPI environment variable or override it with the "-pin on" mdrun argument.
