Dear all,
I'd need to have a clarification about how to extend a simulation made using
GROMACS 4 that has been
interrupted on a system due to walltime expiration. On the Wiki section I see:
"A simulation that has completed is extended using tpbconv, mdrun and
checkpoint files (.cpt). A simulation
that has terminated, but not completed, due to e.g. the queue time ending, or
better: the use of the -maxh
option of mdrun, can be continued without tpbconv. First the number of steps or
time has to be changed in the
.tpr file, then the simulation is continued from the last checkpoint with
mdrun. This will produce a binary
identical simulation that will be the same as it a continuous run was made.
tpbconv -s previous.tpr -extend timetoextendby -o next.tpr
mdrun -s next.tpr -cpi previous.cpt"
If I understand well, the procedure using tpbconv should be applied only if I
have finished my previous run
of, say, 10 ns, and I want to extend it to 20 ns. ONLY in this case I have to
use tpbconv and then mdrun. On
the contrary, if my run of 10 ns has been interrupted e.g. at 7 ns, the only
command I should provide is:
mdrun -s previous.tpr -cpi previous.cpt
Yes. And the -append option, if you want to continue writing to the same output
files, without having to use trjcat/eneconv later.
-Justin
without modifying the previous.tpr file.
Could you please confirm me about this point?
Many thanks and best regards
Anna
