Why is the parallel running not working properly in my script? K space? or anything?

Dear All

As I doubled the number of processors, the memory usage per processor is almost halved. This was true when I run the provided example file in.melt using our cluster.

However, the parallel running failed with script in.BiTiO. When I doubled my number of processors (from 12 processors to 24 processors), the memory usage per processor is almost constant (40 mb). As a result, I cannot run much larger systems.

I suspect it maybe due to the kspace or some missing package that prevent running parallel properly. Wish someone could give some hints and help.

Thanks in advance

Kspace Ewald at a precision of 1.0e-6 probably
uses a very large # of Kspace vectors. Each
proc has copy of all of them. Try PPPM,
which will be faster and less memory.
