AMBER Archive (2007)Subject: AMBER: pmemd segmentation fault

Deat Amber users,
I am trying to set up some Amber runs on a large cluster. So, I switched
from sander (AMEBR 8) to pmemd (AMBER 9) and I ran it on 512 processors.
The job runs for 400 (out of 1.000.000) steps and then it is interrupted
with the error below. In the output I get the follwoing warning:
"WARNING: Stack usage limited by a hard resource limit of 4294967295
bytes! If segment violations occur, get your sysadmin to increase the
limit.". Could anyone advise me how to deal with this?. I should also
tell you that the same job runs fine using sander (AMBER 8) on 32
processors or 4 CPUs.
And a second question ... when I tried sander (AMBER 8) on 256 CPUs, the
job exits with an error "The number of processors must be a power of 2
and no greater than 128 , but is 256". Is 128 CPUs the upper limit for
sander iun AMBER 8? Does sander in AMBER 9 has the same limit ?
Thanks in advance
Best wishes
Vlad
