HI,
according to the 3.2 gromacs manual , the ewald_rtol parameter is the
relative strength of the electrostatic interaction at the cut off,
decreasing this gives a more accurate direct sum, but a less accurate
reciprocal sum(p. 81).
The beta parameter is the parameter that determines the relative weight
between the direct sum and reciprocal sum(p.55) but i don't think you
can set the beta parameter in gromacs
As I said yesterday, you can choose its value, but you do so indirectly
using rcoulomb and ewald_rtol. ewald_rtol controls the magnitude of the
error in the direct space summation according to
ewald_rtol >= erfc( beta * r_{i,j,n}) / r_{i,j,n}
for all r_{i,j,n} > r_coulomb
Here, beta is a free parameter, and is chosen to satisfy the equality of
the first equation. This value of beta is then used in the remaining
Ewald terms.
Further, gromacs reports the value of beta being used in the .log file
(search for beta)
