I didn't tell you the machine information. It's Itanium 2 with 2 processors
on each machine.
vendor : GenuineIntel
arch : IA-64
family : Itanium 2
model : 1
revision : 5
archrev : 0
features : branchlong
cpu number : 0
cpu regs : 4
cpu MHz : 1500.000000
itc MHz : 1500.000000
After the change of all bc_*** parameters. The code works fine for 2 nodes.
But the time scale between
2 and 4 nodes are almost the same. The list of the time difference bellow
shows that the problem is in
the force adjustment calculation. Is there a way to overcome this problem?
