Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anybody could corroborate an issue I've observed on 2
machines with the NEB tests. My system configurations that cause this
issue are:
GNU 4.5.3 + OpenMPI 1.4.5
GNU 4.6.1 + OpenMPI 1.4.3
(It did NOT happen with GNU 4.1.2 + OpenMPI 1.4.5)
(I believe it also happened with OpenMPI 1.5.4). The issue does not crop
up with those compilers using mpich2-1.4.1p1, so it is strictly the GNU 4.5
(maybe 4.4?) or GNU 4.6 compilers combined with OpenMPI 1.4+. (The issue
is 100% reproducible on these systems, though). The NEB tests require 4+
processors to run, so you should be able to test this by going to
$AMBERHOME/test/neb-testcases/neb_gb_partial/ and doing the following:
export TESTsander=$AMBERHOME/bin/sander.MPI
export DO_PARALLEL='mpirun -np 4' # or 8
./Run.neb_gb_partial
The test should pass almost instantly. I've attached a patch that fixes
the issue for me (which was checked into the master branch recently), but I
do not understand why the patch is necessary in the first place. (apply
the patch from $AMBERHOME using 'patch -p0 -N < neb.patch')
Any indication that I'm not going crazy is appreciated (or even better, if
you can shed light on the actual origin of the problem).
Thanks!
Jason
