[molpro-user] Questions about prallel execution

[Grant Hill]

Hi Zhendong,

This is very much system dependent, but generally a single box means a  
shared memory system and you should be able to execute with molpro -n  
4 input.com.

The memory specified in your input file is requested per process, so  
the example above will use 4 times what you requested in input.com.  
You should be able to verify this with top or equivalent system  
monitoring tool.

HTH,

Grant
