Hi Justin,
Thanks a lot, that suggestion of yours helped. I am on the equilibration
step and its running but nothing is happening on the terminal its just
stagnant. Is it fine because its more than 17 hrs now. Is there some
problem.
After running the second command nothing is happening on the terminal.
grompp -f nvt.mdp -c em.gro -p topol.top -n index.ndx -o nvt.tpr
mdrun -deffnm nvt
I am sorry as it is not a reasonable question to ask but i am just asking
out of curiosity and lack of time.
If you're trying to run an MD simulation in serial, you'll get terrible
performance unless the system is very small (a few hundred atoms). Most MD is
conducted in parallel on high-performance computing clusters, or at the very
least on a multi-core workstation, again using parallelization.
You won't get constant output in either case, since I/O is buffered and write
intervals depend on what you specify in the .mdp file. In any case, if you're
getting poor performance, you're probably simply asking your computer to do
something it's incapable of handling efficiently.
