Hi,
I tried unsuccesfully to run a DFT QMD (quantum molecular dynamics) job of CO2 using the following input. The job ran perfectly in serial mode, but when I tried to run it in parallel the molecule exploded after a few hundred cycles. The molecule just starts to move weird and then explodes and the program returns an error due to lack of convergence of the electronic structure.
I tried OpenMPI versions 1.4.3 and 1.4.2 and got the same results.
I ran this job on my Athlon II X2 laptop, on an Intel Core i7 and a Core 2 Quad with the same results.
The comand for running was
mpirun -np 4 nwchem input.nw
It's certainly not the timestep, as I checked it with a very small dt.
Any ideas about why this happens?
Thank you very much
Diego
