[AMBER] ongoing issues using sander with AMOEBA

Hi Wei,

  We are still experiencing the problem outlined below when we try to use sander with AMOEBA. We followed your advice given below (regarding running of the test jobs relating to Run.Amoeba_sol). To re-iterate:

the job starts to run, but mdinfo remains an empty file. The hpv.out file is not written to beyond the point where it prints out
 TOTAL SIZE OF NONBOND LIST = 4359315

i.e. just before commencing the actual md part of the job, nothing else is written to file.

We note this regardless of the run time we allocate (e.g. even after 8 hours this situation has not progressed). Further, we tried allocating different amounts of memory - but both 1 Gb and 4Gb allocations yielded the same result.

Should this particular job really take a lot of time? Is it reasonable to expect the file to be written to within 8 hours? The hardware we are running this on comprises 960 x 3 GHz Intel Xeon "Woodcrest" cores arranged as 240 x 2-way dual core nodes.

Is there another flag we can add to the command line to get a more verbose output in order to track down our problem?

We would really appreciate help with getting this issue resolved.


thanks

Susana Tomasio and Dr. Tiff Walsh

Hi Wei

Thank you for your reply.

I tried your suggestion but I donīt think itīs running properly. In the qstat it says that it is running,
however the mdinfo output is empty and the results section of the file hpv.out is the following: (it doesnīt change
with time)


| # of SOLUTE degrees of freedom (RNDFP): 42414.
| # of SOLVENT degrees of freedom (RNDFS): 0.
| NDFMIN = 42411. NUM_NOSHAKE = 0 CORRECTED RNDFP = 42411.
| TOTAL # of degrees of freedom (RNDF) = 42411.
 ---------------------------------------------------
 APPROXIMATING switch and d/dx switch using CUBIC SPLINE INTERPOLATION
 using 5000.0 points per unit in tabled values
 TESTING RELATIVE ERROR over r ranging from 0.0 to cutoff
| CHECK switch(x): max rel err = 0.2738E-14 at 2.422500
| CHECK d/dx switch(x): max rel err = 0.8987E-11 at 2.875760
 ---------------------------------------------------
| Local SIZE OF NONBOND LIST = 2500071
| TOTAL SIZE OF NONBOND LIST = 4359315

Thank you,

Hi Susana,

    There are two test cases under that directory: Run.amoeba and
Run.amoeba_sol. Can you
try to run sander using the output of the other one: Run.amoeba_sol?
The command should
be:

     $AMBERHOME/exe/sander -O -i mdin -c hpv.xyz -p hpv.prmtop.save -o
hpv.out

     Sincerely,

     Wei
