Dear all,
I have questions about execution times that are printed at the end of
the mdout file.
I am running MD on a protein with AMBER7 on 16 processors SGI Origin 3800.
I had a problem with a trajectory file that was corrupted during one of
my run, in spite
of the fact that the job finished apparently normally. So I ran the same
job once again
on the same machines.
The results I obtained were totally similar : the restrt and mdene files
are totally identical.
For mdtrj, only a small part in the middle was different (I suppose my
problem of corrupted
file was a problem of writing because of som computer problems) and the
only differences in
the mdout files concern the timing.
There is a great difference in the time of calculation needed (35000 s
for one and 41000s for the
second), despite this is the same calculation (the identical results
show it has been the same).
Is it normal ?
And what is even stranger for me is that some times do not appear in
both reports : there are
one time Other after RunMDTime (left column) and one time Other after
FRC Collect Time (right
column).
Her is the sdiff report of the two mdout files :
