Hi Mark, Perhaps your simulation is intrinsically unstable, and you haven't gotten > unlucky enough yet on the iMac. Check out http://www.gromacs.org/** > Documentation/Terminology/**Blowing_Up<http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Blowing_Up> >
The simulation on the iMac reaches a stable equilibrium. On the cluster, it appears stable until step 14555 where I get LINCS warnings such as Step 14555, time 29.11 (ps) LINCS WARNING > > relative constraint deviation after LINCS: > > rms 0.078151, max 2.416183 (between atoms 1720 and 1721) > > bonds that rotated more than 30 degrees: > > atom 1 atom 2 angle previous, current, constraint length > > 1720 1721 151.3 0.1080 0.3689 0.1080 > > 1707 1708 152.8 0.1090 0.3674 0.1090 > > Wrote pdb files with previous and current coordinates > > >> Step 14555, time 29.11 (ps) LINCS WARNING > > relative constraint deviation after LINCS: > > rms 0.078245, max 2.420384 (between atoms 1720 and 1721) > > bonds that rotated more than 30 degrees: > > atom 1 atom 2 angle previous, current, constraint length > > 1720 1721 151.3 0.1080 0.3694 0.1080 > > 1707 1708 152.8 0.1090 0.3676 0.1090 > > >> Back Off!

It appears to me that there is some significant difference in the operation of gromacs in the two environments. Thanks, Luke
