Thanks Mark for your reply.
For the time being, I admit your claim that I am comparing apple with
orange.
So, to investigate more, I run the simulation without any modification
in parameter fields and force field I am using. My test data is CMV
virus shell.
I am using the following commands.
pdb2gmx -f 1F15-full.pdb -ter -ignh -ff amber99 -water none
grompp -f mdr.mdp -c conf.gro -p topol.top -o imd.tpr
OMP_NUM_THREADS=12 mdrun -nt 16 -s imd.tpr

The GB- energy value reported is half of that reported by Amber 11 and
Octree based Molecular dynamic package.
Although I guess the difference can be due to the difference in
algorithms they are using, but there could be some other reason.
If anyone knows what are the possible reasons behind this, please let
me know. May be fixing them will give me same value for all different
Molecular Dynamic Package.
