Hi Daniel,

I have no experience in running G98 in parallel with Linda, but I
encountered the Shmmax Failed problem when running G98 over 2
prcessors with shared memory and when running NWChem in parallel
over different nodes, so I assume it is the same problem.

The Linux kernel has traditionally fairly small limit for the shared
memory segment size (SHMMAX), and this needs to be increased. On my
dual Xeon (with 2 Gb memory) I have set it to 0.5 Gig, while on some
other 2Gb Xeons in our department it is set to 1Gb.

The way to do it permanently is to put (as root) the lines

# Increase max shared memory
kernel.shmmax=536870912

into /etc/sysctl.conf before rebooting.

The temporary solution is

echo 536870912 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

Hope this helps,

Tanja

Hi,

Could anyone suggest me free Ki (inhibition constant) databases on the

Thanks for any reply.

I have no any confidence in pre-written tools (sorry) but even using them 
a thing you will need for Linux is the Bash guide:

Dear CCL users,
I want to perform a geometry optimization in which several
couples of dihedral angles have the same starting value and I`d like to
let these couples optimize so that both dihedral angles within each couple
can have the same value at the end of the optimization.

How can I achieve such a course of optimization?

Best regards,
Jana Precechtelova

Hi ,
we are performing ONIOM (b3LYP:UFF) calculations on
graphite compounds.
The low and the high level have not the same multiplicity and =
consequently the computation stops.
The problem arises from the UFF. Does anybody know how to :
wether specify two different multiplicities for the two levels or =
suppress the multiplicity test in the molecular mechanics computation.

Best Regards

Olivier

Hi,

I think you have to check the size of shmmax for the kernel.
By default, the size of shmmax is quite small.
You should take a look "/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax".

You can change it like this,

echo 1073741824 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

"1073741824" means 1GB for the maximum size of shared
memory.

Regards,
