parallel run gives twice the same output on IBM AIX 6.1

Post by m.cestari » Mon Nov 15, 2010 5:36 pm

Dear users,
we have successfully compiled abinit 6.4.1 @ CINECA (IBM-SP6/AIX 6.1).

The serial tests went fine but now we are facing some issues with parallel
tests. We have tried to run the example as described in the tutorial

http://www.abinit.org/documentation/hel ... elism.html

We have executed abinit typing:

$ poe abinit < tparal_1.files >& tparal_1.log -procs 4

I'm attaching the .log file. As far as I understand correctly, it seems that this run
performs 4 times the same calculation. To summarize, it seems to me that instead of
a parallel job with 4 tasks, 4 serial jobs have been executed.

In the following I report the build information

So it seems that the application is correctly a parallel build.
Please, let me know if you have any idea to fix this problem.

Kind regards,
Mirko
