Many thanks As you're not providing any more details about your crashes, I just can guess what's your problem. On our SuSE systems the following works perfectly: source /bin/openmpi.sh /orca > Note, as you can see in the manual, that you have to provide the FULL installation path when starting a parallel ORCA run. Next, check "ldd orca_scf_mpi" if your binary is linked against the openmpi-library you expect. And a final source of error might be that you use a 64-bit version of ORCA, but compiled your openmpi not with long integers (not sure if that's necessary).

The conference will take place in our 15th Century monastery in the mediaeval high mountain village of Vallico Sotto (in the Tuscan Apuan Alps near the beautiful Italian city of Lucca). For many types of problem the accuracy of quantum Monte Carlo is much better than that of the more widely-used density functional theory, and its scaling with number of atoms is much more favourable than that of high-level quantum chemistry. Unlike most other methods, it is also fully capable of exploiting the full power of the largest computers in the world (e.g. the Cambridge CASINO code has been shown to have almost perfect parallel scaling to over 100,000 CPU cores). All topics related to applications of QMC and/or theory and algorithm development will be welcome, though it is expected that broader topics in the general area will also be discussed. The normal format for these events involves formal presentations being restricted to the mornings, with the afternoons left free for relaxed discussion and participation in activities. For the young and vigorous, we organize mountain walks, caving and other healthy outdoor exercise, whilst the unfit and elderly might enjoy artistic tours, city visits, and gentle country strolls, with all participants reuniting in the evening for excellent Tuscan dinners in local restaurants. The monastery is a unique venue where the community spirit and magnificent location have inspired memorable meetings in the past. This year's workshop will involve up to 50 people, all accommodated on site and in the village. Many speakers will be specifically invited, but anyone who feels that they have something to contribute and who wishes to attend the event is most welcome to contact the organizer (Mike Towler: mdt26 at cam.ac.uk) for further details. There is no charge either for attendance at the conference or accommodation. A provisional programmme is available at the above website.

The aim of the school is to give students a thorough introduction to quantum Monte Carlo as a method for performing high-quality calculations of the electronic structure of atoms, molecules, and materials. The course is designed for young quantum chemists or theoretical physicists who have no previous experience with this technique, though people at any stage of their career who are interested are welcome to take part. The monastery is a unique venue where the community spirit and magnificent location have inspired memorable workshops in the past. It is a delightful 15th century building incorporating an ancient church, and is situated in the isolated but spectacular setting of the Tuscan mountain village of Vallico Sotto. The church is fully equipped with relevant presentation and computer technology, and all accommodation is on-site. As with all events at the Institute, formal lectures are restricted to the mornings, and participants are given the freedom and space to think and to contemplate and discuss the issues at hand. In addition to hands-on exercises, a programme of healthy recreational activities such as mountain walks will be organized in the afternoons, and it is hoped that by following this strict regime, together with breathing the clean air of the Apuan Alps and by preparing and sampling fine Tuscan cuisine, the participant will be able to return home mentally and physically refreshed as well as better informed. Describing the complex behaviour of materials at the atomic level requires a sophisticated description of the correlated motion of the electrons. Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) is an increasingly popular and explicitly many-body method with the unusual capability of yielding highly accurate results whilst also exhibiting a very favourable scaling of computational cost with system size, and perfect parallel scaling up to (at least) hundreds of thousands of computer cores. Over the last twenty years, the Cambridge group have been researching QMC methods and we have created a powerful, general computer program - CASINO - to carry out the calculations. The school will focus both on the basic theory of QMC and on more advanced practical techniques, and will include a thorough introduction to the CASINO program. A background in density functional theory or similar - though not essential - is normally thought to be useful. Quantum Monte Carlo and the scaling behaviour of CASINO on the fastest computers in the world were the subject of one of last year's Psi-k "Scientific Highlight of the Month" review articles. See "Petascale computing opens new vistas for quantum Monte Carlo" by M.J.Gillan, M.D. Towler and D.Alfe, available for download here: http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~mdt26/papers/petascale_psik.pdf Instructors at the school will include the main authors of the CASINO program, Dr. Mike Towler (Cambridge/UCL), Dr. Neil Drummond (Lancaster) and Dr. Pablo Lopez Rios (Cambridge). Participants would normally need to book a flight to Pisa airport from where onward transportation will be arranged (though other destinations are possible). Details of previous schools - including photographs - are available under the PUBLIC EVENTS link on the TTI web site. Interested students should email Mike Towler (mdt26 at cam.ac.uk) for registration and further details.
