If I'm running an amber9 sander ff99 protein + TIP3P (or TIP4P) water
REMD simulation ntc=2 ntf=2, I get a problem on AIX and opteron
platforms.
My question is, can I run with ntc=2, ntf=1, which seems to work? Will
this give the "correct" and expected output. As for the errors with
ntc=ntf=2, I just get "terminated" mpi signal... I suspect if might be
some type of MPI timeout. On an opteron with infiniband (i don't know
which MPICH but it's NERSC's jacquard which Bob Duke is familiar with),
I was getting VAPI timeout errors, which may be fixed with changing the
timeouts and retries... see the output below
Please let me know if you have any insight on if ntc=2, ntf=1 is
appropriate.
