Replying to message "[Pw_forum] problem while running parallel version of espresso-4.1.1" from Bipul Rakshit (08/12/09): > I am running this > calculations on 16 processors, and in 4 hrs it completes only 4 scf
Dear Bipul, you output file says that you are running on *32* processors, this would cause some massive slow-down if you only have 16 of them available. You could also use more pools, especially if the processors are in different PCs that are connected via not-so-fast network. regards -- Lorenzo Paulatto SISSA & DEMOCRITOS (Trieste) phone: +39 040 3787 511 skype: paulatz www: http://people.sissa.it/~paulatto/ *** save italian brains *** http://saveitalianbrains.wordpress.com/
