Hello,

I am doing a simulation of a membrane + protein using ffG53a6 in Gromacs.

First I equilibrated at constant volume and then I changed to semi-isotropic pressure.

This is my mdp file:

hen I did

grompp -f equilibrado3.mdp -c equilibrado2.gro -p ionized_system.top -o equilibrado3.tpr -n index.ndx

mdrun -v -deffnm equilibrado3

I got a Benchmark of :

               NODE (s)   Real (s)      (%)

       Time:  38960.000  38960.000    100.0

                       10h49:20

               (Mnbf/s)   (GFlops)   (ns/day)  (hour/ns)

Performance:     93.815     25.746      0.444     54.111

(My system is very big, so the Benchmark is reasonable)

The next I did was extending the calculation:

tpbconv -s equilibrado3.tpr -f equilibrado3.trr -e equilibrado3.edr -n index.ndx -o equilibrado4.tpr -extend 200000

Surpringsingly, the calculation reached 504.722 steps (it should have stopped at 300.000 since I had done 100.000 and extended to 200.000 more!) and if I look at the benchmark

What is the time given on the initial frame (from the logfile?) What does gmxcheck tell you about your .trr and .edr files (are they the times you think they are?). If you're seeing a time indicator of 504.722, that would be the time (in ps), not the step number, so it's almost as if your new run started over from 0 and ran for a short time.

What happens if you use grompp to extend your run, instead of tpbconv? It might be interesting to see if there's a difference. Also, you could try tpbconv -time 100000 -until 300000, also to see if it would make a difference. This will test to see if your tpbconv executable is functioning correctly or not.

I see:

               NODE (s)   Real (s)      (%)

       Time: 172782.000 172782.000    100.0

                       1d23h59:42

               (Mnbf/s)   (GFlops)   (ns/day)  (hour/ns)

Performance:     85.694     23.514    100.010      0.240

What is obviously incorrect.

Anybody knows what could be happening?

Thank you very much in advance,
