So I was able to get pw and cp to compile on the BG/P, but when I try and test out pw using the scf.in test, the code hangs at the following (regardless of number of procs, time, etc)
launched as follows:
Program PWSCF v.4.0.4 starts ...
Today is 24Dec2008 at 12: 7:44
Parallel version (MPI)
Number of processors in use: 1
For Norm-Conserving or Ultrasoft (Vanderbilt) Pseudopotentials or PAW
Current dimensions of program pwscf are:
Max number of different atomic species (ntypx) = 10
Max number of k-points (npk) = 40000
Max angular momentum in pseudopotentials (lmaxx) = 3
(hangs here until killed)
Any ideas what could cause this? Maybe a missed option someplace? I don't get any useful information sent to stderr
-----------------------------
My guess is that something goofy happened with input redirection. If you haven't done it already, try running the test as "mpirun-or-exec ./pw.x -in scf.in > scf.out", and see what you get.
(BTW, I've noticed that on a cluster that I've used, running the "check-pw.x.j" within a batch job works fine even though input redirection in the script uses the "<" operator, but when running mpirun.lsf directly from the batch script, I need the "-in" option. Go figure.)
