[CIG-SEISMO] Any experience running SPECFEM3D on a multicore machine?

[Dimitri Komatitsch]

Hi Steve,

Yes, we do this all the time. It could be that the code purposely
called exit_MPI.f90 because your parameters are incorrect in 
DATA/Par_file. Look for error messages in directory "OUTPUT_FILES"
( error*.txt ).

Otherwise it could be an MPI library install problem on your system
(unlikely, but it has happened in the past).

If you do not manage to locate the problem please send me a tar file
in a few days and I will try on another machine.

Best regards,
Dimitri.
