Hello, I have been using GROMACS for some very long (in wall clock terms) simulations, and am curious as to how other users on this list solve the problem of checkpointing long MD runs. It's a problem because of the tendency of computational nodes in large HPC facilities (the more processors,

Hello all, Firstly, many thanks to everyone who has contributed useful advice to me over a number of years using GROMACS. I have performed a large number of potential of mean force calculations for the forces acting between two approximately spherical amorphous silica particles (various size
