The ABINIT Users Mailing List ( CLOSED )

  Now that I just asked the question about the SR11000, I thought I would ask another quick question about another machine.  I have been carrying out many body Green's function calculations on a IBM Blue Gene.  This machine has batch queues with 2000 processors in it.  Seeing the news of the recent parallelization of the fourier transform operation in 5.3 made me wonder if anyone had attempted to run abinit on a Blue Gene cluster.  I have yet to try and was curious if there were any major road blocks.  One possible problem is a maximum memory of 512 MB /mode (no virtual memory).  Any opinions/experience?
