parallel aoforce 6.3.1

I can;t seem to get it going in parallel. It always start a single process, not sure why:

#!/bin/bash -l
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=8

export TURBODIR=/share/apps/turbomole631
export PATH=$TURBODIR/scripts:$PATH
export TURBOTMPDIR=/scratch

cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR

## set locale to C
unset LANG
unset LC_CTYPE

# set stack size limit to unlimited:
ulimit -s unlimited

# Count the number of nodes
PBS_L_NODENUMBER=`wc -l < $PBS_NODEFILE`

# Check if this is a parallel job
if [ $PBS_L_NODENUMBER -gt 1 ]; then
##### Parallel job
# Set environment variables for a MPI job
    export PARA_ARCH=MPI
    export PATH="${TURBODIR}/bin/`sysname`:${PATH}"
    export PARNODES=8
    export NCPUS=8
else
##### Sequentiel job
# set the PATH for Turbomole calculations
    export PATH="${TURBODIR}/bin/`sysname`:${PATH}"
fi

jobex -c 500 -energy 7 -gcart 4 -l /share/apps/turbomole631/bin/em64t-unknown-linux-gnu_mpi -ri
export PARA_ARCH=SMP
aoforce>aoforce.out

Hi,

use 'export PARA_ARCH=SMP' for the SMP version of aoforce.

Cheers,

Arnim,

but it's there, the line before the last. Or it would not work this way, e.g. running optimization with MPI, then exporting SMP and running aoforce?

The variable PARA_ARCH only changes the output of sysname. If you just set it and don't use sysname afterwards, nothing will happen.
It can be seen as a two-step strategy to tell the OS, where to find scripts or binaries.
First, set export PARA_ARCH=SMP and then export PATH="${TURBODIR}/bin/`sysname`:${PATH}".
With this, the path is set to the SMP version.

Cheers,

Arnim
