Previous: Introduction
To make use of the implemented parallelization strategy, make sure
that your system meets the following requirements:
- all files for the calculation must be accessible under the
same name and path. Therefore you should set up your NFS mounts
in such a way, that on all machines the path names are the same.
- rlogin to all machines to be used must be possible
without specifying a password. Therefore you must
edit your .rhosts file to include all machines you intend
to use (not necessary for a shared memory machine).
- Unfortunately the command for launching a remote shell is
platform dependent, and can be 'remsh' or 'rsh',
because on some systems 'rsh' refers to the restricted shell. Please
check these commands on your system and change the line
set remote = remsh or rsh
in the files lapw1para, lapwsopara, lapw2para and
opticpara
accordingly. This modification is done automatically by
userconfig_lapw.
