Re: [gmx-users] How to increase the tolerance for conjugate gradient minimization

2010-06-19 Thread Erik Lindahl
Hi Arthur, Two answers: It's a pretty fundamental result on numerical analysis that you can only achieve a tolerance that is sqrt(EPS), where EPS is your floating-point accuracy. If you need better tolerance you might have to try double precision. Be careful to use e.g. switched interactions a

Hi Arthur, The most useful option from my experience is to run Gromacs in double precision. You also can try to make emstep smaller (after an initial minimisation of the crude structure) and use l-bfgs. Good luck, Ran -- -- Ran Friedman Postdo

I agree the code is fine. Is there a parameter that I need to change to increase the tolerance? I have issues energy minimizing a small molecule in the presence of a macromolecule. One work around is to increase the energy of the small molecule, so that the macromolecule no longer domina
