[Pw_forum] Problem in parallel execution, please help

[Lorenzo Paulatto]

Hello Dev,
> piexec_localhost.localdomain: cannot connect to local mpd
> (/tmp/mpd2.console_sushil); possible causes:
>  1. no mpd is running on this host
>  2. an mpd is running but was started without a "console" (-n option)
> In case 1, you can start an mpd on this host with:
>    mpd &
> and you will be able to run jobs just on this host.
> For more details on starting mpds on a set of hosts, see
> the MPICH2 Installation Guide.

Have you tried following those intructions?
If yes, what went wrong at that point?
If no, why?

Anyway, it is a problem with mpich configuration, not with quantum  
espresso. I would suggest to invest some time in testing the mpich  
configuration.

best regards
