Hi,

Is there any tag in the OUTCAR file whose presence will confirm that the job was run in parallel mode? Or any other files/output that are produced specifically for a parallelized run.

At the head of OUTCAR, if vasp is run in serial version:
vasp.4.6.xx ddMmmyy complex
executed on machine date yyyy.mm.dd hh:mm:ss
serial version

For parallel version:
vasp.4.6.xx ddMMMyy complex
executed on machine date yyyy.mm.dd hh:mm:ss
running on N nodes

Thanks! That is perfect; now I can verfy wheter the mpivasp I had compiled is running truely in parallel.
