Initiating Normal Mode Analysis
Started Normal Mode Analysis on node 0 Sun Apr  7 09:55:01 2013


However, my NMA has been running for about 4 days on 64 Xeon nodes with
120GB available memory and GROMACS has not generated any output.

What should I expect to see, and how would I adjust my mdp parameters to
increase the frequency of output of the normal-mode analysis? How long
would a run like this be expected to take?

Thank you,

Bryan

Do you have water too? Otherwise it might be good to turn off PME, then the problem becomes sparse. With water it will not be likely to get anything useful.

Your calculation should use about 5-10 Gb core memory but I'm not sure whether NM works in parallel.
