Dear Amber users,
I am trying to perform an MM-PBSA analysis on a protein ligand complex,
but I keep seeing pbsa segmentation faults without any informative error
message (neither in pbsa.out nor in the output of mm-pbsa.pl).
I have applied amber9 bugfix 2. My system is a dualCPU RedHat-like Linux
machine, amber was compiled with the intel fortran compilers.
The script fails on seemingly random snapshots, that is, a snapshot that
caused a segfault might just run fine on a restart. The segfaults occur on
average every 10-20 snapshots.
My system has ca. 6000 atoms and consists of a protein and a drug-like
ligand. I noticed that pbsa uses a lot of memory (>400Mb, 80% of my
total RAM) and I'm not sure if that is to be expected. I run pbsa with the
default parameters.
While I can get around the problem by renaming the snapshot files and
restarting mm-pbsa after every crash, this is tedious and I wonder what
goes wrong.
Any suggestions would be appreciated,
Regards,
Thomas
