How do I determine what those values should be? How does it affect the simulation?


The header of your log file should have printed what the initial guesses were. The -dd option sets how many PP nodes there are in the domain decomposition; using 4 cores, there are probably 3 PP: 1 PME, so you probably can't tweak this option, really.

The -rcon option is explained in mdrun -h or the manual. See what mdrun guessed, then increase this value.

        Hi All,

        I get the following error when running replica exchange. I have
        32 replica's with each replica running on 4 processors (128
        total). How do I decrease the domain decomposition cell size,
        -dss? What should I set it to?


    <snip>

    You're getting some hints from mdrun, I'd start there:


        -------------------------------------------------------
        Program mdrun_mpi, VERSION 4.0.4
        Source code file: domdec_con.c, line: 679

        Fatal error:
        DD cell 5 0 0 could only obtain 96 of the 108 atoms that are
        connected via vsites from the neighboring cells. This probably
        means your vsite lengths are too long compared to the domain
        decomposition cell size. Decrease the number of domain
        decomposition grid cells or use the -rcon option of mdrun.
        -------------------------------------------------------


    ...So manually set -dd and/or -rcon.

    -Justin
