Re: [AMBER] equilibration stops for dimer simulation with REMD

Dear Users,

I didn't get any response of my problem. I checked my dimer equilibration step by doing normal MD at one temperature. It worked fine. Only with replica exchange MD, job aborts after completing few steps as I mentioned in my previous email. However with monomer, REMD does not complain anything.

Could anyone please suggest how can I solve it?

Best regards,

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for your reply.
The equilibration didn't give any error message in the out file. However, the queuing software gave the following output.
--------------------------------------------------------
application called MPI_Abort(MPI_COMM_WORLD, 1) - process 12[cli_12]: aborting job:
application called MPI_Abort(MPI_COMM_WORLD, 1) - process 12
-------------------------------------------------------
The last step of the out file after which equilibration stopped is also given below.

I hope, this information would help you to figure out the problem. I have not done none REMD simulation on this system. As you suggested I will give a try to do normal MD and see.

Thank you so much.

Sunita

it's not possible to help without more information on "simulation stops". is
there an error message, either in the sander output or output from any
queueing software? does the simulation stop, or keep running but not produce
output? does a non-REMD (normal MD) simulation work fine for the dimer using
exactly the same input but not exchanging?
