In this particular case, I don't think the solution is that obvious. If you look at the stack in the original email, you will notice how we get into this. The problem here, is that the FREE_LIST_WAIT is used to get a fragment to store an unexpected message. If this macro return NULL (in oth

Dear All, I am a graduate student working on molecular dynamic simulation. My professor/adviser is planning to buy Linux based clusters. But before that he wanted me to parallelize a serial code on molecular dynamic simulations and test it on a intelcore 2 duo machine with fedora 8 on it. I ha

Hey Folks, Anyone got ScaLapack and BLACS working and not just compiled under OSX10.5 in 64-bit mode? The FAQ site directions were followed and every thing compiles just fine. But ALL of the single precision routines and many of the double precisions routines in the TESTING directory fail w

Yes I have used MPI_SUBROUTINES to parallelize it. If you want me to send my code I can do that because this is my first effort towards parallel computing, so your suggestions and ideas are valuable to me. -Original Message- From: users-boun...@open-mpi.org [mailto:users-boun...@open-mpi.o
