Hello, I am trying to perform a simulation run of 10ns for my system [protein+waterbox].The system works fine if i use timestep[dt=0.002 fs]. To balance the run time and time-consumption, when we try a .mdp file with slight increase of timestep i.e., to 0.003 fs; grompp works fine and generates input tpr, but when going further with mdrun, the program crashes, giving error: "Segmentation Fault"
So i have to increase the number of steps[nsteps] to achieve required run time.But this'll be time consuming.I am unable to figure out any alternative. I am using Gromacs 3.3 on IBM Power5 machine with SLES9. Please suggest me the required to be done.Thanks in advance. The .mdp file i've used: integrator = md ;Total simulation time: 5000 ps :time step in femtoseconds dt = 0.002 ;number of steps nsteps = 2500000 nstxout = 100 nstvout = 100 nstlog = 10 nstenergy = 10 nstxtcout = 10 ;xtc_grps = prot ;group(s) to write to energy file energygrps = protein non-protein Frequency to update the neighbor list (and the long-range forces, ;when using twin-range cut-off's). nstlist = 10 cut-off distance for the short-range neighbor list rlist = 0.8 ;treatment of electrostatic interactions coulombtype = PME rcoulomb = 0.9 *********$$$********* Ramya Cherukupalli, Final year, M.S Bioinformatics, IIIT - H. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ gmx-users mailing list gmx-users@gromacs.org http://www.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/search before posting!
