Check the MPICH manuals for how to specify the nodes to run on. From memory,
the option -machinefile lets you do this.

Subject: [gmx-users] only one cpu "works" in my linux cluster
Dear GMXers
this is how I've done it so far:
grompp -f -c -p -o 12np.tpr -np 12
qsub -l node=6 12np.sh (/home/me/mpich2/bin/mpirun -np 12 mdrun -s 12np.tpr -np
12 )
then it seems my mdrun works fine, but when I ssh to each node to check the cpu
efficiency with "top", I find that there's only one cpu works with 12
processes! The other nodes are completely idle.
the cluster have 56 Intel Xeon duo 3.0G CPUs, below is my system info:
Linux login 2.4.21-32.EL #1 SMP Fri Apr 15 21:02:58 EDT 2005 x86_64 x86_64
x86_64 GNU/Linux
our administrator have installed mpich1.2.7 in the default DIR (/usr/local),
but I have some problems to do mpi-mdrun with mpich1.2.7, so I installed mpich2
in my personal dir.
I've searched the list, but cant get any solution. Does it have something to do
with the kernel or there's some conflict between mpich1 and 2, or something
else?
This is the first time I build up a Linux Cluster on my own, ANY suggestions
are appreciated !
Xin Liu
