<font face="Times New Roman">I'm confused about the parallel setup
behavior of the Wien2k 12.1 siteconfig_lapw script. <br>
<br>
The message in siteconfig seems to indicate that if "y" is used
for shared memory, then MPI_REMOTE = 0 (which can only be changed
by editing the parallel_options file directly). However, the
script gives a prompt to input whether the user wants to use 0 or
1. If the user presses enter without giving input, it outputs </font><font
face="Times New Roman">MPI_REMOTE = " ". </font><font
face="Times New Roman">On the other hand, MPI_REMOTE = "1 " is the
output in parallel_options regardless if 0 or 1 is used as input
along with some possibly unwanted quotation marks. <br>
<br>
The mpi-2 message suggests but does not imply that </font><font
face="Times New Roman">MPI_REMOTE = 0 is the default (when no
input is given), but </font><font face="Times New Roman">MPI_REMOTE
= 1 is the default in the script.<br>
<br>
I believe the prompt to select </font><font face="Times New
Roman">MPI_REMOTE = </font><font face="Times New Roman">0 or 1 is
useful when "n" is used for shared memory. However, the script
always sets </font><font face="Times New Roman">MPI_REMOTE = 1.
The relevant sections of code should be between lines 852-873. So
the Wien2k developers may want to check if the script is
performing as intended.<br>
