Hi Gromacs Users,

when I am trying to run the simulation I am getting the following error:

mpispawn.c:303 Unexpected exit status

Child exited abnormally!
Killing remote processes...DONE

I read about this online and it says that simulation is running out of memory and it depends upon the grid spacing. It also talks about PP/PME ratio. But I am not able to figure how to make that changes in the mdp file?


Can you provide a link to the information you found?

PP/PME ratio is either guessed, or explicitly set using mdrun -npme. Assuming the "grid spacing" you refer to is the PME grid spacing, then the fourierspacing parameter is what you need to set. Usually a default of 0.12 is reasonable; yours is set at 0.10.

Also, you shouldn't be using -DFLEXIBLE with the md integrator, see here:
