I downloaded the benchmark files from the website:
http://amber.scripps.edu/amber8.bench2.html and to test the charmm on my linux cluster.
First, I run it with single processor, everything is fine and it took about 16 min.
Then I setup for dual processors run, but this time I got a lot of warning information :
EPHIFS: WARNING. dihedral 1 is almost linear.

EPHIFS: WARNING. dihedral 3 is almost linear.

then stop.
I do not understand why, I use the same input file and same version of charmm on same machine. Is there anyone help me out this problem? Thanks.
