I generated the ma2 file and submitted the job. I will let you know how it goes.

How different is the ma2 file from a map file?

Thanks,
Marco

This looks like a bug.
Can you try with the latest version and run genmap again (this will produce a .ma2 file).  Make sure you have just a .ma2 and no .map in your case directory.

If this works I have to check why the old .map doesn’t.

I run my case with 1024 processors as suggested by Paul. The run hung for two hours before reaching the wall time.
