My input file name is "py-tzvpp.nw" and command to run Nwchem 6.1 is as follow:

mpirun -np 8 /nibs/myliu/nwchem-6.1/bin/LINUX64/nwchem py-tzvpp.nw &> py-tzvpp.nwo

Strange. You may want to try two things in your jobscript:

1. Explicitly do a "cd" to your working directory just before the mpirun command (making sure you are in the directory you should be)

2. Slight change in the mpirun command: mpirun -np 8 /nibs/myliu/nwchem-6.1/bin/LINUX64/nwchem py-tzvpp.nw >& py-tzvpp.nwo

It still not work!
I did it as what you said, but it is still not work.

Our cluster is SGE grid system, the script is as follow

  1. !/bin/sh

  3. $ -S /bin/bash
  4. $ -cwd
  5. $ -q katyusha
  6. $ -pe katyusha 8
  7. $ -hard
  8. $ -l hostname=k129.hn.org
  9. $ -N pi-blyp-d3-tzvpp

source /etc/env/iccvars.sh
source /etc/env/ifortvars.sh
source /etc/env/openmpii.sh
export MPIRUN_PATH=/usr/local/openmpii/bin

cd /pubdata/myliu/py-indole-blyp-d3-tzvpp

mpirun -np 8 /nibs/myliu/nwchem-6.1/bin/LINUX64/nwchem py-tzvpp.nw >& py-tzvpp.nwo

I have the same problem. Interestingly if you do <nwchem_executable_path> input.nw -np 4 > output.nw & , the program runs but uses only 1 processor. Does the program always expect the input file to be the second argument?

Two suggestions:

cd /pubdata/myliu/py-indole-blyp-d3-tzvpp

mpirun -np 8 /nibs/myliu/nwchem-6.1/bin/LINUX64/nwchem /pubdata/myliu/py-indole-blyp-d3-tzvpp
/py-tzvpp.nw >& py-tzvpp.nwo

Or

cd /pubdata/myliu/py-indole-blyp-d3-tzvpp

cp /nibs/myliu/nwchem-6.1/bin/LINUX64/nwchem /pubdata/myliu/py-indole-blyp-d3-tzvpp/nwchem

mpirun -np 8 nwchem py-tzvpp.nw >& py-tzvpp.nwo

Yes, the first argument after the executable should be the input file.

-np 4 is a mpirun option, and hence should be before the executable. See the mpirun documentation.
