<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am just wondering whether any one has experienced
on Mac OS X system, especially MPI parallel. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Where can I find( or make) "PPC version of LAM-mpi" as
mentioned in the above link? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I got the results on 2-node Mac cluster(2 machines), but it is
not impressive at all. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>(My systems: Gromacs-3.1.5_pre1, fftw-2.1.3, MPICH,
two-Mac 1.0 G, OS X 10.2, )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> It took the same amount of time on two-node Mac-cluster
as that on a single machine. The above link mentioned
the Mac cluster could be "significantly slower" via
TCP/IP. </FONT><FONT size=2> Is there any ways to improve the
speed of simulation on multiple nodes of Mac system? </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
