I think so too. It's a system-specific problem. The Benchmark runs and finish with the following:
NODE (s) Real (s) (%)
Time: 782.000 782.000 100.0
13:02
(Mnbf/s) (GFlops) (ns/day) (hour/ns)
Performance: 56.745 5.416 1.105 21.722
But with longer md's the machine hang after a while.
It is not a reproduceable position in the dynamic,
And the machine writes no message in the system logs!!?
At the moment we have no Idea for a solution of this Problem.
Regards,
Bernd
