Dear users,


After some weeks of trouble we successfully installed YADE on HPC in  
Freiberg [1] (special thanks to Anton Gladky, Dieter Simon and Oliver  
Rebentrost). The HPC in Freiberg is based on a quite old (RPM-based)  
Scientific Linux 5.5 and thats why the main problem was to create  
modules of the required packages for YADE [2].
Please note, that YADE is parallelized with OpenMP [3]. So it is not  
possible to use more than one node per job, but one can run several  
jobs parallel (on several nodes). Also it is possible to use all cores  
of one single node (using -j option).

I hope this information is useful for you and I would be very happy to  
see YADE running also on other clusters. If you have questions  
referred to this topic, do not hesitate to ask [4]!


Kind regards,

Christian Jakob
