[Pw_forum] PW very sensitive to number of processors and pools

[Christopher O'Brien]

Paolo,
Thank you for the quick reply.
I was able to run some tests on another cluster without any dependence on the number of processors or pools. For reference, the combination that failed was:
ifort 9.0 with Intel's MPICH
The working cluster used:
ifort 10.1.022 with Intel's MPICH2 1.3a2

Thanks again.
