Abaqus problem with host list
von Krishna Murthy, Karthik Ravi
Dear All, In the past (LSF) it was possible to submit parallel jobs on several cores for ABAQUS. However, now with SLURM i encounter the problem stated below: Abaqus Error: The number of cpus used is more than the total number of processors specified by the host list. mp_host_list: [['ncm0081.hpc.itc.rwth-aachen.de', 1]]. Abaqus/Analysis exited with error(s). I suspect it is due to a fautly setting of the enviromental variable $R_WLM_ABAQUSHOSTLIST, as the job submission script, found on the RWTH documentation website states: cat << EOF > $abaqus_v6.env #verbose = 3 #ask_delete = OFF mp_file_system = (SHARED, LOCAL) mp_host_list = $R_WLM_ABAQUSHOSTLIST EOF It seems like currently there is only one host in that list, which i suspect to be insufficient when running on, let say 16 cores. Best Regards, Karthik
