NAMD is installed on the Origin2000 and IA32 Linux cluster at NCSA

Origin2000

NAMD 2.5b1 for Origin2000-MPI is available for download.

The latest version of NAMD for Origin2000-MPI is installed in the directory

/usr/apps/chemistry/namd/

Interactive Runs

Since this is an MPI program it must be run (on P processors) with the mpirun command:
mpirun -np P /usr/local/apps/chemistry/namd/current/namd2 run.namd > run.log

Batch Jobs

Submit batch jobs (to run on P processors) using the bsub command:
bsub -nP < scriptfile
and use the $BSUB_NUMTHREADS environment variable in your script:
mpirun -np $BSUB_NUMTHREADS /usr/local/apps/chemistry/namd/current/namd2 run.namd > run.log

IA32 Linux Cluster

The latest version of NAMD for Linux-i686-VMI is installed in the directory
/usr/apps/chemistry/namd/

Interactive Runs

Since interactive runs are not yet supported on this machine, the Linux-i686 version of NAMD also installed to allow you to test your jobs before submitting them to the batch queue:
/usr/apps/chemistry/namd/current-serial/namd2 run.namd

Batch Jobs

Submit batch jobs (to run on N nodes for 1 hour) using the qsub command:
qsub -l walltime=1:00:00,nodes=N:ppn=2:pt -o run.out scriptfile
and use vmirun in your script:
vmirun "/usr/apps/chemistry/namd/current/namd2 run.namd"
