am trying to set up ORCA ab initio package to run in parallel mode
(on SuSE Linux workstation) but was not successful. I have installed
openmpi and added openmpi path to my .profile but parallel job still
aborts. Perhaps someone can send me the working Linux .profile
file?? Many thanks
As you're not providing any more details about your crashes, I just
can
guess what's your problem. On our SuSE systems the following works
perfectly:
source <your ompi-path>/bin/openmpi.sh
<your ORCA-installation path>/orca <input> > <output>
Note, as you can see in the manual, that you have to provide the FULL
installation path when starting a parallel ORCA run.
Next, check "ldd orca_scf_mpi" if your binary is linked
against the
openmpi-library you expect.
And a final source of error might be that you use a 64-bit version of
ORCA, but compiled your openmpi not with long integers (not sure if
that's necessary).
Regards,
Tobias
